Very colorful indeed. I think that you need to confess. Did someone tie die a bird? Nice shot.

I never, Not once claimed to read your post...

I really don't know what this bird is.
The picture was taken at Lotherton Hall in the UK last weekend,
but i dont recall seeing a name on the avery where the bird is kept.
This is the original photowith only slight ajustments in CS3.

I was in Africa last October and saw this bird in Kurger. It migrates from Africa to the north. It is a Lilac Breasted Roller.
