This is super, Ina. It looks like a painting. The white background works very well. Lovely action capture of the bird.

I like the frozen movement of the wings! And.....what a skilful, crafty bird this is....look at that nest! I wonder...if we give it a try, can we manage?!

Fabulous shot with incredible timing. Colorful bird and very interesting nest. I like your caption as well. On a side note the Salvador Dali museum is in the next city over from me. An intriguing artist.
