Happy New Year everyone!

Always hoped to come across these striking birds, but they're usually not very close to where I live. On a recent road trip my fortune changed and I found a few of them on a lakes edge :)

Now we also know how Orange Chats like to decorate their Christmas trees  :D

Really nice, Jan! I love this perch. I'm wondering though if the image would benefit from lowering brightness values a bit.. some of these wonderful colors may pop more.

Beautiful bird and perch, Jan! So much nicer than a fairy on top. Superb shot!

The colors look beautiful together in this scene. The red flowers matching the eyes is great and I like the BG colors as they transition to the blue at the top. Another solid image Jan!
Happy New Year to you too.
