The Forest edge ...

And ... this is the
lady ... whom
the male I posted
yesterday ... was
courting ...

She was getting all
his attention and
goodies ... enjoying
her moment in
spring ...

before ...

it inevitable turns
into hard work of
nesting and daily
chores ... of raising
a family ...

Watch the beauty in a
video-clip ... that also
shows a glimpse of the
male as well as brief
territorial fight between
him and an aggressive
White-throated Fantail ...

A gorgeous image of this female Alok! Not as colorful as the male of course but beautiful none the less.

A beauty of a detailed and colourful close up and setting Alok, lovely job and many tfs.
 
Brilliant video and picture of this species. Amazing setting to capture birds.
The first young Great tits of this season have arrived at my feeding place this week.
 
She is lovely, Alok. Interesting narrative, too, thank you.

Such stunning birds, especially for females, aren't they Alok.

You've taken a lovely picture of her my friend. Very well done.
