What a beautiful bird, love the colour of the plumage.

 

[BRASH]

Yeh, nice

First pic I've seen of one this winter. Well spotted

 

[norvic-boy]

Beautiful birds. And great image to compliment them too! Nice shot!

Plus I think the berry in the foreground works with it too! Nice sense of their 'stereotyped' enviroment!

 

[ACB]

Thanks for the kind comments folks!

 

[Somelier]

Nice pic. Sadly not as many around this year as there have been in the past.

 

[SLRUser]

That's a great photo of a bird I have yet to see...

 

[ACB]

Thanks for your comments Somelier and slruser

Nice capture, I've never seen one either.

 

[ACB]

Thanks Ken, not many around this winter

 

[Martyn...]

Nice shot Tony ... not seen any up this way this year either, probably down to the bad winter

Superb! As an ex. Essex lass I have never seen one in the county in all of my 58 years residency. May I ask where abouts in Essex it was taken.

Many thanks Martyn

and thanks Donna, this was taken in a car park in West Mersea
