Oh my... he is beautiful, isn't he!!!

What a cracking picture of this scarce visitor to the Gallery - it's about 2 years since the last image came in of this one.

Thanks very much Colin.
 
Another gorgeous bird with such beautiful coloring. You have good eyes, I know I'd have missed seeing it. Well done.
