But there's nothing you could do, except remembering the good spotting time you just had.That's the nature beauty as well. You don't decide when or what...
So annoying when that happens!
I was ready to wait 30 more minutes to acustome it to my presence, but somebody scared it.
Birds are extremely difficult to get good photos of as they can be so flighty but you did a great job here, thanks for letting us see this colourful beauty!
But very shy! This is the only picture I got after 30 minutes watching it.
What a beautifully coloured bird :-)
