Hi Everybody,
The Bird is frequently sighted in my neighbourhood. Has a repetitive call which makes it easy to spot.
C & C welcome.
Thanks in Advance,

This looks a very good looking bird, with nice colourful plumage. Unfortunately the very steep angle does not do justice to it, and I find the branches distracting. Lucky for you they are easy to spot therefore I'm sure you will get some other opportunities to hopefully get it lower. Thanks for sharing this beautiful bird!
