Do you like this side better?

Steve is not getting rhubarb crumble tonight because I just had to spend time posting these shots of this rare bird. My printer ink needs changing so that I can keep some shots to show my colleagues at work tomorrow. Oh it's simple things that give the most pleasure and photography is a wonderful pastime made even more special at moments like this
