Thanks! He came from nowhere and just landed 1 m away from me on the branch. It was a lucky moment :)

Very nice spotting. I see them daily, but they rarely pose for me.

He's wonderful, what a striking bird! I love the last picture, like he's carefully edging towards the end of the log to see what's down there :) Lovely pictures
