This is one awesome image of this beautiful bird Stanley.

If no one adds it to Opus before I get home from work, I'll add it then. It is way too beautiful not to.

He is quite stunning Stanley.... and what a cracking picture you've taken of him too.

I'll upload this picture to The Opus shortly - many thanks for sharing him with us.

Can you tell me if Juninho's bird is the same subspecies?
