A lovely image Donald, one of those where the bird stands out from the background and seems to occupy its own three dimensional space. Colours, detail and texture all precisely controlled. And of course those plumes are gorgeous.

As it happens, I was just thinking about your squabbling Fieldfares from last winter. Maybe we'll have a reprise if the weather turns cold enough!
