impressive bird! and well captured too

Very nice.

They must feel reasonably safe on these exposed perches. Nice green plumage.

They weren't making it easy for you lightwise! Impressive claws.

Terrific perch to capture this intriguing fellow. Lots of detail despite the harsh light.

The pose didn't work for you, but the composition definitely does. Lovely image.

just realized this is not the quail shot i meant to post. oh well lol

Fabulous comp! Not sure if that is a type of partridge.

At least train the cat to pass the towell

nice
