Another fine capture Phil. I've seen guys in Thailand, very attractive with that yellow and grey streaked plumage and very long bill.
Good sharpness and pose.

Hola Phil
Una gran foto, mis felicitaciones, por esa composición tan bonita y además una especie poco vista.
Un saludo y gracias por mostrarla.

Phil, this is lovely! What an expression! You can just hear it saying - "For goodness sake! I've been sitting here for the last hour! When is the next spider due!" Great pov, detail and colours! Well done!
Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Phil,

Fantastic shot of a bird I have not seen before. That beak is amazing. I love his hairdo with the spikes. Marvelous colors, details, pose, setting and bg.

Hello Phil!
What an amazing bird species! Great colours, DOF and POV. I like also its pose, almost "face-to-face" but also a profile-like ;)
