Think these birds are so beautiful when you can see then close to, you have captured an unusual pose and the bird seems to have an intense expression as if it could hear something, perhaps it could the sound of a Pentax focusing.

It wasn't my camera focusing, it had just spotted the sultanas I had put in a hole I had drilled in a log.
Thanks for comments John.
