My jaw is on the floor.

I've never seen these before. He is breathtaking.

Beautiful captures, thanks so much for sharing!

Glad you liked meeting him adski. The male looks like a female for its first six or so years, then changes to the dark plumage.

Reminds me of Mozart's father in the film Troy.

Glad you liked it.

I found it difficult to get texture in the plumage PentUp. Would be interesting to get to hold one.
