Great flight shot, striking colours.

Thanks mramshaw.
When it is sitting, with the wing feather folded in, the bird looks fairly unassuming, a bit bland actually apart from the lilac coloring on its chest. But when it flies, it suddenly displays these bright colours of its wing feathers and is quite stunning to see.
