We don't always see this charismatic bird at this site but it's always a joy when one turns up, especially up close and posing.

"Excellent" wildlife style capture Des, of really beautiful bird.

Superb shot. What a character. I know it's widespread in Europe but you'd think it's environment would just be a rainforest.
