Thanks Jeff, some advice please. On the front of the Weaver is some green colour. It is reflected from the green tree the bird was in. I tried various things in post edit to eliminate it, without damaging the image. In the end, I left it in. Does it look okay, or how would you manage it? I didn't want to use a flash, as I did not want to scare the bird away. Any thoughts please, when you have time? or perhaps Paul might know.

Hi Phil,

I would have thought that may well be the real colour of its under plumage perhaps ?
Wouldn't have thought that the feathers would have been that reflective in that light but could be wrong though.

I think it looks fine as it is and I'm not sure I would want to change it

Thanks Jeff, I will leave it and try to take another photo of the Weaver again to double check the colours. It was a chance photo. I was walking through the wood and looked up. There it was....click, click and in a moment it had flown away

Anthurium Xavia

Growing in a pot in our pergola, likes shade, but can be grown indoors. Poisonous from calcium oxalate crystals, the sap is an irritant to the eyes and skin. It has air purifying qualities and has an affect on formaldehyde, ammonia and volatile organic gases. Several of the these plants in a building, can reduce harmful substances by more than 50% in 24 hours.

Thank you Gordon for those encouraging words. Much appreciated. Today we had a break from the rains. Some of the butterflies came out and one of the dogs came along as well.
