What fabulous detail Keith. I haven't come across this breed before. I also love the pose and your framing, and just catching the reflection of the old branch.

Thanks Rosa. WWT often have unusual or rare birds on site..........sometimes they are bred here in the UK and then shipped back to their native countries to save them from becoming extinct.

There is a lot of good work going on in this country like that Keith.
I hope this present situation doesn't hamper them for too long.

Nice capture Keith, not our usual visitor, I am wandering if it is an escapee from a private collection. Whatever it's a great shot for the album.

Thanks for the info I'll follow that up tomorrow.

Thanks Maurice - not from a private collection -it's one of the birds they breed here and release in their country of origin to help out dwindling populations.
