Photographer's Note
The Motmots are tailed forest birds of the family Momotidae leaving in Central and South America. They are about 17 to 50 cm (6.5 to 20 inches) long and are mostly brownish green, often with touches of bright blue on the head or wings. Motmots take flying insects and pluck a variety of other invertebrates and small vertebrates from branches. When perched a motmot often swings the tail from side to side or holds it askew. The nest is a hole dug with down curved bill, generally in a sandbank.

Hello Zbigniew,
This is an incredible photo on the bird-model, posed for you in a way you managed to show it's grandeur.
The colors are stunning, and the unique tale is outstanding on image.
A great moment you caught.
Regards,
Ike

Howdy Zbig,
Impressive upclose view of the Motmot; very colorful and dynamic looking bird, which I have never seen before. And I am a big fan of zoos and nature preserves.
Good job,
Cheers,
Ray
