Thanks all.
Haha Paul..... you should know me by now..... of course I have other pics.
As shown below in order of taking.
The first photo was taken at 11:26am, and as you are probably aware the light was much brighter today than on previous days, although all the images were taken under some shade/cover, but may still be light affected.
The subsequent photos 11:27am after the bird flew off, but returned immediately.
The final photo was taken at 11:30 after the bird had been spooked by a Bulbul, but returned from a different angle.
These are a selection from about 20 or so images which should cover most of the body areas.
The 2nd image , the tail is probably light affected as you you can see a shaft of sunlight interrupted on the branch below.
Whilst perched it flicked it's tail frequently.
I believe it is the same bird I have been seeing for about 1 week.., but it has never entered my 5' virtual box.., so no photos.
Today it did not actually make it to the water & seemed very nervous..... will resist taking photos next time & perhaps it will go to water... although with the constant mobbing by Starlings the last few days, most of the birds seem nervous.
BTW, Neil F has dug up a photo from February this year of a similar bird which he says was taken in my garden, I didn't get the photo, although is quite likely as he spends more time in my hide than I do.
BTW Paul...., thank you for your lengthy reply.
All the best, Guy
