Lovely colourful bird, but, please tell us what it is?
Cheers, Graham.
Nice shot!It was lucky that this Hooded Crow was flying sideways on rather than exactly overhead.

On reflection, here's a Whitethroated Kingfisher I just took in Israel.
Interesting birds and very good shots Alan! Exactly for page 1001!
There are some very good ornithologists there and so ringing can be frequent. It wasn’t the best of images but it meant a lot to me to get. Thanks.Interesting birds and very good shots Alan! Exactly for page 1001!
I was after the Rock Nuthatch during my vacation this summer and even hear it from the cliffs above but didn't see it... The rings on the legs are proof for how rare is the bird, like here on the Islands the ornithologists are taking special care of such a birds.
