I must admit when I saw the title I wasn't sure if that was the species or a Miner Bird being perticularly loud! Shame about the anti-social behaviour - it really is a beauty and this is an amazing close-up of it! Many tfs Peter!

He is handsome, isn't he Peter. I love the little yellow highlights.

A super picture you've taken of him - very well done mate.
