Super pose exposure of a great looking bird. Never seen one. Don't think we get them here in SA
Well done on this

Great shot Tony - nice detail and I love the tilted head.

cheers Rob

That is cute, and what a great little "curious" pose you got! Very perky looking fella. Exposure and sharpness look great too. I would only tone down the bright streaks on the bill and leg, and also the brightest patch behind the bird. Very well done :-)

Great shot Tony. Nothing to add, but well done. The pose is very cool!

[Dejan Stojanovic]

nice Tony- great pose.

I like the pose and shared tones of bird and background.

You did really well to get close to this species. I had a go at one when I was over in WA on holiday a couple of years ago and I didn't get nearly this close. This is the most detailed shot of this species I've seen so far.

This is just one of the most lovely images I have ever seen of these little guys. Big congratulations!
