I can’t believe a bird this big is called a Nutcracker! A beautiful close up image of this giant JJ !

Such a handsome bird. Great close-up with its head turned looking at you while showing that massive bill. Excellent work JJ! TFS!

Posing very obligingly for you JJ, and you can’t miss that white vent. Excellent fine detail too. A real cracker of a Nutcracker shot!
