Unfortunately they do not come up this far north. Nice looking bird. Great shot.

Love how the bird's breast and the flower behind it are nearly the identical orange hue.

Hi,
May I suggest how, I believe, this photo can be improved dramatically.
Firstly I would crop in quite tightly into portrait format,
Secondly, I would ( If you have PS)make a selection roughly round the bird > select inverse, feather the selection, then soften the image just slightly using the blur tool. I suggest trying Gausian Blur.
Finally, I may be tempted to slightly burn the corners of your final image, just take care not to overdo the burn , start at around 5 or 10%.
The bird is lovely and pin sharp, and is well worth framing !!!.
Congratulations on a lovely image !...Norman
