Nothing beats watching Toucans raid a fig tree; and I know Im looking up, they live in the trees you know:t3 but then this shows the stunning red off nicely!

I enjoy seening these Toucan shots - bit steep for me but interesting viev of those red tail/bottom feathers.

Great shot Rich love the colours. I would consider taming those highlights a little though.

Good morning Jon, thanks
I would appreciate a PM regards "dulling" the bright spots" I try various methods but am never sure on method.

Spectacular colors on this bird. You have done well with the exposure although the yellows on the neck are a bit hot.
