Mini Competition #749

This is an open-themed competition that is open to all CiC members.

ENTERING. Add your image in a new post below. Make sure to change your post title to a name for your picture (click the "Go Advanced" button). Only one entry per person. For help posting images, go here.

VOTING. When this competition reaches 10 entries, a poll will be automatically added and any member may then vote. After 2 days, voting ends and the winner is determined.

Once voting begins, a new competition will be automatically started.

Good luck!

Notes: Please do not request feedback or comment on other images until after voting has closed, as it could be unfair to other entrants. Photos must be your own, and never entered into one of our prior competitions. We also ask that only recently taken or edited photos be used as entries (in the spirit of motivating everyone to continually improve).

PS: Make sure to also vote on the previous competition here.

We have so many birds in our garden but this is one of our favourites. She regularly collects lizards and flying morsels while we sit outside at breakfast. But she has become trusting enough to take a little titbit by hand. We are very careful to only provide a little so as not to upset her normal diet and make her dependent on us. But it sometimes happens that she will see us in the kitchen, fly down onto the window sill and tap on the window for a snack.
