Glad you chased him, Tom. Nice images of a bird we don't see often.

I haven't heard of this bird. It has some great subtle colors in the plumage. Bill looks proportionally small. Great image!

Lovely subtle colouring on this bird and your portrait has the clarity to depict the detail and distinctiveness of each feather. Voted
