Grey in the sunlight
Didn't make for an easy picture especially as, for the second time that day a Grey Shrikethrush gave me the run-around of a car park!!! At least I managed an image of this one.

We had a lovely meal in the retreat's restaurant with the most wonderful view looking down over the rainforest canopy and the hills beyond.

Excellent light and focus! Too bad he was so uncooperative, wouldn't stop, wouldn't turn his head. Oh well. Good exercise, good entertainment, and a good lunch in good company. You really can't complain ;)
