User's notes

I was walking through Hughes, down a steep street when I saw three of these birds enjoying the small fruits in a tree. Because of the gradient of the street I was essentially at eye level with one of the birds as it was feeding. The sun caught the bird’s eye in such a way that it exposed the red iris.
