Beautiful bird, unique color and lovely composition.

Thank you so much Jayne.:)

Where do you live that u see all these

Long story....I live in Pune, India. But, I had to travel 1hrs.30minutes to reach where this bird is found (Sinhagad valley)and then 1 hr to wait for just a glimpse....And till all other photographers got the best shots..It gets too crowded. These birds come there for water at a small stream . The Male bird is very very handsome.

Beautiful bird pics

Thank you Susan. :)
