> Hi All,

While failing to stalk our odd sunbird successfully today I happened on some good luck with one of our resident Purple-crested Turacos. Usually our birds are not approachable but perseverance paid off today and I just wanted to share my luck with the group.
I hope you like it.
Best wishes,
Adam
