      Thanks! Couldn't resist when I saw the counter at 9,997 :)
      Sadly the lens I took this photo with is broken now, my trusty Sigma 70-300 4-5.6.
      I'm about to purchase a new lens so I can keep shooting pictures like this.       Posted 12 years ago, modified 12 years ago

    I am assuming that this bird had a lot of red on it too, but I am pretty sure it is a Pesquets, especially if you look at Ferdy's photos as well.
    What an awesome looking bird!     Posted 12 years ago
