This beautiful, tiny bird is tough to capture well because of its active nature. To catch it in such good light that brings out the colors nicely, with great detail, pose, background and perch, is the holy grail of in-habitat wild bird photography. Big congrats, Mark!  |

Congratulations Mark. From the way Romy describes the bird it is a prize catch. Even if I never get to see this bird in the wild, I have the satisfaction of seeing a superb picture of it. Well done. Mabuhay.
