On second viewing it’s even better. And yes, the appearance of the near primaries is deceptive, but zoomed in it’s easy to spot the curvature of the feather tips, and on four of them we are actually seeing the back of the feather.

As you look at the acute angle of the feathers on the near wing they do not relate to the rounded feathers on the other wing and believe this is an escaped bird but nicely photograph especially the detail in the white feathers.

Hi Alan, Believe it. If you look closely, you can see that the near primary tips are simply curled towards us. The bird is a free and wild, un-pinioned bird (though it is an introduced species). artie
