This little fellow landed on a glass partition about a foot from me as I was walking through Sydney Wildlife World, Darling Harbour.
By the way, mine was the only Pentax in a sea of Canikons. Maybe that's why the bird chose me to take his portrait.

Well it's a bird you don't see everyday photographed by a camera you don't see every day (except your own) so you may well be correct in the reason it landed close to you!

Thanks everyone for the comments. I'll pass your best wishes along to my little feathered friend next time I'm in Sydney.
