On an evening stroll on my recent holiday to Florida around our hotel I found this fella bashing his brains in on a light. So, I caught him to take him out into the open and release him out on the open, but when I opened my hand he didn't want to fly away!
I had to take this left handed!

C&C welcome! :D
