Great looking bird. What cool colors. Way to go Sindri.

Beautiful captures Sindri. I got a few captures of this bird this fall as they were migrating south. They were in their winter plumage. It is really nice to see what a wonderful looking bird they are in their summer plumage especailly with the great captures you have presented here.

Love the perspective Sindri. Nice low angle shots make a whole other image. :)

Terrific images, Sindri. As always with your photos, wonderful color, sharpness and composition. And as Mitch said, the low angle shots add so much.
Great job!!

Wonderful shots Sindri....I was able to take some in winter plumage when we were in Hawaii a couple of months back and its amazing how radically different they appear in summer plumage.

[Alex Paul]

Stunning images Sindri..... What a beauty!!!!

Magnificent bird and stunning shots from a challenging low angle. Great stuff, as usual, Sindri!

[downywp]

Wow Beautiful shots, great low angle and detail, and the setting and b/g's are simply perfect - excellent work!:)

[Anke]

Beautiful shots, Sindri. Great stuff! :D

[hTr]

Great Set

The low angle and Crisp Detail are Typical Skulason and adding the Environment just sets them apart. You have a real talent for getting super images.

Well Done Friend!!

Beautiful plumage on this bird that I've never seen before. Great shots Sindri and thanks for sharing them.

[csquared63]

Textbook shots, Sindri. The second is especially beautiful with the environment.

[busbyea]

Very nice in their summer plumage.

You've presented them Beautifully. (I have yet to see one dressed like this)

[Stephen Stephen]

Excellent shots Sindri as always. I've only seen this species once in breeding plumage but I was from several hundred metres away and BIWD (Before I Went Digital).

What a striking shot of a striking bird! I look forward to your posts, you always know it will be something different!

[philc123]

Well what can I say Sindri, #1 theres a couple of strands of grass obscuring the leg and in #2 the main subject is 3mm to far to the right.;)





Seriously, can i come and visit!

Great captures, wonderful birds just superb (as usual).

[Gary Fairhead]

Two of the best images I have seen of this species!!
