Your visit and comment means a lot, thanks for stopping by :)
What a gorgeous bird on a perfect branch ... with a perfectly muted background. This works so well for me, all the tones muted of brighter color. Great choices.

Seems the bird found the perfect branch and a matching background for its feathers. And of course the perfect photographer :)

The sheer number of birds in your garden would fill a big textbook. Simply amazing!

A lovely wildlife study . . it is like the bird is posing just for you ! I can see why it gets the name mousebird.
