Exquisite image, Alan. The perch matches the bird! Awesome background without distractions. Simply, great!

Love how he is stretched up on his toes like this, very alert little fellow. Pretty little purple flowers complete the picture.

Nothing common about this image. Wonderful detail in the yellow, sharp eye, clean perch and ideal background. Flowers add a nice touch as well. Another, AM classic!
