Now that's one close up. Marvelous detail, clarity and colour, OK what kind of bird is this Paul?

I need to consult Erja in order to get the Finnish/Swedish or perhaps English name for this very creature !!! LOL
A figure from the tales of Mummi by Tove Jansson, a Finnish writer - this is exactly.
Cutest little sweetie in its somewhat cold manner - it is !
Congratulations to you my dear master, mentor and the perfect photographer of all times [here on Caedes].

Only a mom could love this face...lol...but a great shot of it.

Good clarity and colors!

This is great and so colourful and cute.Very cleaver art work and nice balance too.

I am sorry but i don't remember the name of the Mumin figure.
But this creature comes from a story book,i am sure of it.
Fantastic photo of this..?

Buka is her name !!!!!!

I found it thanks to Erja.

On YouTube. Now I will get all the names of the characters in English and/or Finnish/Swedish and even Spanish !!! LOL

Nice to see you back with this kind of work Paul !!

This one looks just like the expression on the faces of the local pigeons when they have flown into my just cleaned shiny glass windows!! ha ha That look of surprise is brilliant!! Well done!

Of course, the name is Groke !!!!!! The creature from Mummin stories.
I found it at one site which I do not have at the moment as my regular computer is in workshop - I have been playing too much with a screwdriver ...
Will give the address of the site, at least to Erja and to anybody else who would be interested.
Sorry for all the confusion, but I am like Lt Columbo - will not sleep until I find the clue!!

"Buka" was the at least the Polish name of the critter.
