Indeed, these birds are colorful and your capture shows that very well. The pod is not to shabby either.
Nice timing on this.

Nice shot Ann, particularly with that flower in there (which adds interest). About the only suggestion I have is to reduce the Highlights considerably to make the background less bright and give more focus to the main subject. Also maybe a tad more sharpening.

Thanks Dave. Unfortunately I can't reduce the highlights - had a look and they are as low as my software allows. It was almost dark and I used the flash .... clearly too much flash ! As of today I am going to start wearing my glasses as every photo I take is not quite in focus.
Hi Griddi
I agree, very hard to catch - he did not sit still for more that a few moments.
