That one looks nice and bright. I miss these a lot from back in the UK, I've only ever seen one in Japan (a rarity here).

Were you throwing yellow paint at it?

Great shot. I like how you included a lot of the rock as it adds to the photo.

Outstanding shot, Roy. I like that you included the rock and lichen, and the bokeh is superb.

That's a great shot Roy.

I saw my first one ever last Tuesday, they are really engaging birds. Your shot is much better than mine, I had very harsh lighting.
