I can still rember the first time I saw one of these around 12 years and I thought what a beautifully coloured bird, it was only when it took off that I realised its potential for annoyance.
Great capture in awesome light. Love the pose and the BG really makes this bird pop. Sorry to hear about how noisy they are. I have the same problem with Limpkin here on the lake where I live 4 months of the year. It is torture!
