FINE shot. I gave you an 8 but it would have been a 9 or 10 had I ever suspected this had been shot in the wild. We have them in our zoo and I once had an opportunity to photograph one free in the aviary there, on the railing of the walkway and quite unafraid. Even had time to change lenses and could probably have touched it. So, though this is better than any of mine, I wasn't as impressed as I might have been. I'm really sorry as your image is first rate.

What blob?
Seriously, not too distractive in the presence of such a royal bird.

Good one, Harvey. The eyes pop so well, the blob is not even seen.

They nest in wakkerstroom! Should come and see the flocks when they gather prior to pairing! Their mating dance iis a beautiful thing to watch!
