Congratulations on your lifer and even more for spotting it!
Such a beautiful little bird! Pretty photographs. Congratulations on the life bird!
it is as you can guess quite common over here and it is funny that it is a lifer for you š
Chris, now that I know how it looks I have seen it already again …
