Comment I wasn't around to point out the obscured tail and that the crop is not ideal, but I will not vote against the unanimous support at Commons. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:23, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I agree with the reservations expressed by Charles above, but the image still seems good enough to merit FP status. There are a lot of photos of this very photogenic bird in the Commons, but this one has the highest resolution, and the lighting is also better than most. Not to mention that this individual is exceptionally handsome (unlike the rather ratty looking individuals in some of the other photos). Choliamb (talk) 14:39, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
