    The usual mandatory praise from the chattering classes for work that is less than mediocre.

    Friday photo, Wednesday Wallpaper.

    Is there any comparison?

    @Elaycee Rotorua- it’s an area where they are still quite common. Thanks for comment :)

    Is it sleeping, though?

    Or is it scratching the feathers on its back to get the redbaiters out?

    As always, love your work chap.

    Speaking of which, here’s a photo I took recently of a Redbaiter in its natural habitat…

    OK, I have read what you said, and obviously you can do better. Therefore, put up one of YOUR photo’s for us to look at it – now, (as in today) not later.

    If you are either not able to, or not inclined to do as I have asked, , then I would respectfully suggest that silence would be a good path to follow.

    I look forward to seeing you work – and no doubt others are too.

    Your call.

    @RRM

    It is resting. I like the shine the neck feathers acquire when the sunlight bounces off them.

    I assume that Red continues to confirm I’m living ‘rent-free’ in his head. How pathetic.

    I guess I side with Redbaiter on this …it is a pleasant photo of a bird in which the photographer titles it in-correctly as so many photographers do. There will always be the sycophantic comments wherever photos are displayed … because we all have different appreciations of what we see in images.
    It might well be thinking if only that tog would buss off and I could get to sleep?
