These birds are so pretty! We don't have them here in the States (that I know of), so thanks for sharing the photos you capture of them going about their business. -)
@randystreat thanks would love that to be the case - unfortunately not - they are extremely timid and lots of foliage blocks the view quiet often. Once spotted I took a very slow route around in order to get behind a tree to take the shot with my 600mm lens. Pose is her reacting to the sound of the shutter.
