In my opinion this is the most beautiful bird on the planet. I've wanted to see one for a long time, but living in Southern California, there's not much of a chance I'm going to see one here. Great photo BTW!

That really is an impressive find. Good snap too.
This is a fabulous spotting, Dave, and a beautiful bird. It looks like fine porcelain.
Wow, fantastic find, Dave! I saw these birds in the Arctic Circle, they are simply magical. One of my favourite birds, for sure. Lucky you that this one came down for a visit! Great snap, too.
