Oh la la, what a handsome one, that is:) He/she looks a bit worn down, a beautiful capture btw. Colour, contrast, simplicity, I like them all. Posted 11 years ago

It's almost as if their eyes are embedded in the beak. Fascinatingly worn down too. Posted 11 years ago

  Hey Wendy!
  How is life? I was just looking at some of your photos (I'm on a self inflicted coffee break here;)) and were wondering if you made any recent wonders to show here at JungleD. Missing your inspiration if i'm honest;) That and a bit of sunlight, it is storming outside;)
