Red faced

I nearly forgot to take a picture today. As it was, I downloaded photos tonight and found I'd only snapped the shutter four times. Four. That's the second lowest total all year -- not good for someone who's on a self-imposed mission to post a picture a day. Sadly, though I tried four times to get "the" photo of this Red-headed Barbet, none of the four was a particularly good shot. The shadows in the verdant green forest were just a little too deep, the bird just a little too distant, the blue sky in the background just a little too bright. But take my word for it, in real life this wee beastie was spectacular!
