There's nothing common about that bird.. The wing looks like a painter's pallette, beautiful. Thanks, Tim.

Hi Corwin,
This is excellent picture. Can I use this in my web page at www.pc-zoo.com?
Thanks
Kush :)

You've really captured the beautiful irridescent colors. Great shot.

Fantastic shot and the colours on the wing are perfect.

I took a couple of photos of a pair yesterday but the weather was very overcast and the colours were not at all accurate. They were in a suburban garden so this one is especially nice being in their natural habitat.
