Trichoglossus chlorolepidotus. He was crawling around some bushes on a holiday trip a year or so back, not at all bothered by me getting close in for some shots. In fact he was as curious about me as I was about him. :) Curiously this has been sitting in my folder for a few months with the title, The Eye, maybe a shot for the current contest? He He.

Enjoy.

Mikel.

Really nice, Mikel! It looks like he had his eye on you as you had your eye on him.

A visual treat for me. To see one crawling about seems so surreal. : ) Excellent details and color. Saved!

Great shot Mikel; great clarity. I am glad he worked with you for the best portrait shot with a tilted head :).
