Thank you very much my friend, I never pass the opportunity to photograph them because I know their plumage reflect colors beautifully under sunlight. 🙂
Such a typical (and amusing) pose, but what an atypical capture of his colors. Some consider these birds raucous, or pushy, or loud — which they are, I suppose — but they’re still one of my favorites. A lovely portrait!

Uno speciale azzurro che non si può dimenticare, sulle piume di questo bell’esemplare…
Un saluto,silvia
Le piume di questo uccello riflettono la luce del sole nei toni del blu. Grazie Silvia. 🙂
Oh HJ, that bird had us with its name, but then we saw the beautiful colour and shape of its tail! Superb!
Thank you so much Chris, I appreciate it. 🙂
Exquisite photo, HJ. A distinctive bird, but usually only seen as black–and here you captured a unique pose and resplendent colors too.

A fine tail.
Thank you Tom! 🙂
