    Hi all, today I would like to show you another endangered species, this bird is the most popular in Argentina to keep in captivity, sadly, because of this, there are allready some places here where you no longer see it, in corrientes these birds population is good, this picture of this beautifull male singing was taken a few days ago with the early mornig light. Hope you like it!

    Beautiful photo Ramon. The perfect head turn and the fanned tail make this image special.

    Outstanding Ramón! This is a winner. Very sharp, great light and colour (reds do not appear blown), beautiful BG, head turn and tail. The only thing I would do is give a little more room on top and less room on bottom.

    Definitively one of the most beautiful birds that I have seen at BPN so far, the light, sharpness, head turn and BG makes this one a winner for sure, great job and please keep them coming.

    Beautiful bird and well-captured. I like the light, details, head angle and BG but the fanned tail puts it over the top for me.

    Fantastic catch Ramón, very good exposure and eye contact. A real beauty that I have seen here in Europe as a cage bird but that I would love to see in the wild.
