Quod oculus meus videt

Bad Feather Day

This little chappy decided to stare me down on a stone wall adjacent to where I had parked to do some work.  He allowed me to get out of the driver's seat, go around to the boot to get a camera and return, firing of 20 or more shots of him, in a series of poses.  It was only on review that I noticed this frame where the wind had gotten under his head feathers.

I reckon he's a juvenile just establishing his full plumage, but still handsome for all of that.  I was dead chuffed that I got such a clean shot at 1/60th of a second.  The wonders of in-camera, linked to in-lens stabilisation.
