Bringing colour to a grey day

Backblipped this one. Ran out of time last night.
This laddo is obviously feeling very challenged at the moment because he's to be heard fighting a lot of the time. He does have a large harem to manage though (8 of the secretive females accompany him most days).

Still digging...
No sign of barn owl since :((
