A great shot of this stunning male. You captured the action of swallowing the berry beautifully.

You are so lucky to get these birds, I have never seen one down here in the south.
Great shot Ian. :clap:

Yes I watched a flock of 70+ birds myself yesterday. How I wish the light had been good like it was for you. Beautiful photo.

Well now Ian! YOu couldn't have gotten a better image of this bird. Brilliant! the yellow of the berries pics up those colors in the wings. The berry in the mouth carries the color and leads the eye up to the clump in the upper left of the image then the large clump draws the eye back into the image and to the bird. Brilliant composition and beautiful sharp bird. Sorry to analyze but this is so darned good I couldn't help myself.
