Had a bird outing to Junsai-ike with Mr Honma this morning. This was our best find so are are three almost identical shots. Quite cool in the breeze.

A sort of nondescript bird until you see the blue tail! It's a "mega" here in the UK Russell. Nicely posed for you and you got good pictures.

Great little bird!
The last pic is the best for the light!
It is not easy to take pics under the vegetation!!
Well done!
