A tough shoot through all these tree limbs to get this shot, which makes it quite busy, but as you can see it was sleeping, and I didn`t want to disturb it.
It was also at the edge of a small lake, so I was unable to get around to that side for a better shot of it.

Good shot. It is very difficult to get sharp focus on birds amongst branches like this. You did a great job.

Edward nice capture here. I like the composition and the fact that this male is at rest.

It's a good shot, even in the jungle. Another month, when those leaves grow out, and you'd never have seen it. :)

Thanks, Stephen. They don`t sit still for long, so I was lucky enough to get this shot.

Mitch, that is so true about the leaves, as they are nearly full grown now. Thanks for your comment.
