Thanks Tabatha. They constantly flit about which makes it tricky to capture them. |

Never seen one of those before, what a lovely bird :) Why Purple though? Is it because of the beak? (do excuse my ignorance )

That's a great photo Dave ![]() Jane I think it's because the slate grey feathers are supposed to have a purplish tint...........you probably need a good light

Thanks everyone. Paula is spot on Jane and it is the adults that have this purplish tinge to the feathering, especially in the right light. Mine was a juvenile so it isn't as obvious in it's feathers. |
