Thanks for all the encouragement. Someone mentioned to me that there were no photos of the Southern Red Bishop in the early stage of transition in the gallery and that I should add these two pics. I can't say they are a quality that I am proud of - but they are fascinating to see. My master list of birding pics is available at: http://marktittley.fotopic.net/
