Thanks Christian, lol, because I just had my breakfast.
From a photographic point of view, it's however an excellent one!

Incredible image! I'm assuming the bubble is part of the digestive process of something we'd probably rather not know about!! lol

Well this was incredible timing - not a pretty one but the details are fascinating.

Brilliant close up and detail, goodness the bubble coming out of his mouth, is that how they got their names. Marvelous lighting and clarity of all the hairs on his back and like the way his wings show different colours
