A rare treat for us this summer

Looks like he sees you and is ready to take flight!! How exciting for you to photograph it! Nice one :)

Thanks ! You are right, he stayed for about two minutes. Still, it was long enough to make our day !

Super! Wish I had seen it also!

What a lovely bird, all nestled in that oak. Would make my day as well.

Your sooooooo lucy to have such diverse wildlife,

Another lovely red bird... used to see them years ago...haven't seen any recently guess their flyway is farther west from here. Nice healthy leafed oak tree giving dapply shade! terrific photo.
