What a strange-looking bird . . the beak looks like an NHS transplant. Shoulda gone Private.

Great close-up! What an odd-looking bird, though. I've never seen anything like it. Nicely captured, with great DOF.

I love the look that he/she is giving you. It certainly isn't a come hither look!!! One that would make me want to keep my distance. Great capture Alun.

I think this bird is quite beautiful ... with an attitude! Great image and color. The focus in the bird, but it's focus is on US now!
I'm glad to hear about YET ANOTHER CHALLENGE! ... Thanks to Anthony and you. I will post it. "12/13 ... Where I live ..." (this is fun)

Mystery solved. :)
