Red-tailed or Turkestan Shrike - a great and very obliging bird at Dunwich, Suffolk. It was showing to a large crowd of admirers.

Looking back on one of the tours from a couple of years ago when we drove through the wilds of Bahia, Brazil. Fabulous views of Indigo Macaws at their cliff faces. Stunning.
