He seems to be displaying, doesn't he.

Two super pictures you've taken of this rail - a rather scarce visitor to the Gallery too.

Many thanks for finding this guy to share with us Volker.
 
This is such a handsome bird Volker , I love the statuesque pose and the fine detail which you have captured too.
 
Great pose , setting and lighting in this superb image. I like the way it lifts up its foot and the red eye.
 
Very well posed, focused, detailed and lit study. A great shot.
