Taken through glass - the redpoll was very close to the window so this has been cropped very little.

Hi Kim, taken through the glass, well done as the quality is quite acceptable and you obviously keep them clean.

I like the mottled BG on the rhs side (wish it was consistent though) which is in keeping with the bird, and it's far more interesting than just the plain solid colour BGs. Perhaps a little tight on the lhs but guess you didn't have too much time for composition? Might also slightly lighten the redpoll only, -1 hey, have you tried any at 0 perhaps?

Lovely detail. What a cracking specimen, too.I usually see the bum end of these high up in alders!
You obviously keep your windows sparkling clean!

Never seen one of these. As for critique I would totally agree with Steve's assesment.
