Another great pikkie Chthoniid – always appreciated.
Where was this taken?

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.
