How fabulous to get these three together, JJ, and to get such a beautifully lit and detailed capture.
 
Beautiful capture JJ...Did they take much bribing to pose like that? LOL...Well done mate

Astonishing to have these three species forming themselves into the basis for such a nicely balanced composition. A field guide entry for BHG might show the other two under “similar species”. Excellent work JJ!
