To Jamie: a colourful 'Thank you' (Merops apiaster)

Well, here I'm back from a long weekend spent tracking some target birds for the ineffable Jamiedude. We had a most enjoyable time, great weather and fantastic birds!!! :bounce: He took some awesome shots (you'll see soon, ;)) and as for me well, I did what I could!

Here it goes a bird I was dying to add to my gallery but I never could get enough close to it for a "postable" pic. I owe it to Jamie, so here it is from a most grateful Madam Coolpix for the chances for great photography you gave me and the spanking company!!! o:D

Loads of stuff to come, hopefully, hope you all enjoy this "starter"!!!

;) What a fantastic bird, Marian!:eek!: It's quite natural that you were eager to see and photograph it! And you got such a lovely colorful image..!! Your gallery is quite brighter now, amiga!:t::t::t:
 
You have taken the photo in a very fine light so that plumage's colors can be seen in all the splendor.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian
