A lucky shot

as this bird is seldom in our garden but they do love pincushions.

I was hiding behind the wall to get this shot as they are very skittish.

So gorgeous - love the way he holds his head as if listening or thinking ! ( perhaps just heard your movement !! ) Beautiful pincushions delightfully matching his rump feathers ! fav
