Such remarkable colours, and I find myself asking (as I often do) what the evolutionary advantages of such colours are.....? A beautifully captured image Pete - I'm glad you had such a cooperative driver and rooster - a winning combination.
Lisa, the colours are all about showing off to females. Sigh... ;-)
More dinosaurs. I really think I'd've liked dinosaurs if I'd known they looked more like these sorts of birds.
Zhoen — and were no bigger than pheasants? (The predatory ones, at least — a few brontosauruses stumping around might have been fun.)
Naw, I'm happy with the idea of enormous feathered birdosaurs. Extinct ones.
:-D Agreed, Zhoen.
'Birdosaurs' could catch on.
