Bird du Jour

These guys have been raiding the berry / fruit trees around here lately.
Pretty bird up close though.

These are beautiful. I was going to comment cause no one else had yet, but I don't think there's much I can say.The only thing is in the last photo, it looks like the bird's foot might be slightly cut off.

My favorite is #3. But they all have great color and really convey the beauty of the bird. I don't really think birds are all that special, but this photo even makes me want to know what type of bird they are and stuff.

BTW, the little red tips on the ends of the wings is a great contrast, IMO. I know its really not up to you how the bird looks, but I thought I'd tell you anyway.

A wonderful series of shots there - well done with getting the eyes in detail, so often its easy tolose the black eye in the black feathers.
Wonderful colours too! Thanks for shareing
(ps which L was it?)

Oh thank you....I have a couple of these roaming around locally and I never knew what they where and have not been able to get a good shot of one to ask.
