 * Creator:JJ Harrison

 * Comment Pretty picture but not so encyclopaedic with the bird landing. Doesn't add much to the article. I was the sole oppose voter (on technical grounds) at Commons FP. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:13, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Support – The first sentence on top of WP:FPC page says: "Featured pictures are images that add significantly to articles, either by illustrating article content particularly well, or being eye-catching to the point where users will want to read its accompanying article." The sentence is written as an "either/or", so I figure exceptional wow factor can make up for deficiencies (weak EV, technical issues, etc.). This has exceptional wow factor IMO. I might support, but am currently hesitant because we have two FPs of this bird . Bammesk (talk) 03:23, 26 January 2022 (UTC) . . . . I support delisting one of the older FPs.

 *  Weak support Stunning until you zoom in, at which point weaknesses show. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.5% of all FPs 11:25, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Just don't feel comfortable with my half-heartened being the cause of this not being promoted. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.5% of all FPs 12:13, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Support – Yann (talk) 17:42, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Support – Would look enticing on the front page, leading viewers to the article. --Janke | Talk 17:29, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
