Ken, you are lucky to have him in the open. The one and only one I ever came across was deep in tall grass. I like the detail and colours, with good sharpness too. Could he have not turned his head slightly more towards you:)

Hi Ken this image shows the natural colour of this species perfectly. I do like the windswept crown which adds to the setting of this bird in its natural habitat. TFS.
