Good catch - so much brighter than our species

Great photo, Jim. If you can catch the male there on the birdbath would be excellent too.

The male has lost his mating colours at the moment and doesn't look much different to the female, just a bluer tail.

Here's a shot of what he looked like a month or so go (pic attributed to "Araminta" http://www.birdsinbackyards.net/).

I tried photographing one doing that once.

I find it much less painful to stick to birdlife (the feathered kind that is) 😁
