Interesting colour the bird has. Reminds me of a Glossy Starling

[CC Folk]

@salza Thank you...I will look that up and see. I don't know bird species but thought it was pretty.

[Sally Ings]

@gardenfolk Glossy Starlings - Lamprotornis - seem to be found only in Africa south of the Sahara desert. Where did you see this bird and take it's picture?

I have been very busy with company, family business and volunteering lately, so I've been a little behind in keeping up with you photos. But now that I am caught up, I must say you have been doing some very nice work lately. This photo among them. Very arresting image. Very vivid color pallete for what is a nature shot. Good job.
