Sorry I cut his tail off by rosiekind

Sorry I cut his tail off

I don't know what kind of exotic bird this is but it resides at Danish Camp. I took this through a wire fence so had to get my lens up close so as not to get any bits of fence in the shot. This is probably why I cut his tail off. I heard quite a commotion as I came back from my walk along the cycle track this morning and knew that it must be feeding time. I wasn't wrong! All the ducks, black swans and geese were there tucking in to their breakfast/lunch. The chap that was feeding them said that they need to put on some weight to see them through the cold weather as they had lost 6 birds yesterday so I think they were getting an even bigger meal today. He said the ones that had died were old birds - a bit like me really! LOL

Thanks for getting yesterday's main pic on PP. Thanks to Mark Prince I have now renamed it chiff chaff as the bird is not a garden warbler. I had forgotten all about chiff chaffs as they look very much like a garden warbler but their leg colour is different although they do look very similar and the garden warblers have all migrated.
Such striking plumage!

I'm sure it wasn't to painful for the bird, that's having it's tail cut off and not the photography. Lovely bird and a very colourful capture. FAV.
