"The Old Lad"

For a good number of days I have been trying to get a shot which shows "The Old Lad" off in his best mating plumage.  While he spends a lot of time in the garden displaying to the hens he never stays still in the sun long enough.

Today there he was sitting at the foot of the squirrel feeder being caught beautifully by the sunshine.  The result isn't as impressive as real life but it gives you a good idea of the splendour.
