a lovely shot Phil, not the easiest bird to photograph. Lovely light, composition and background.

Very nice Phil.
Matt's comments regarding the light, composition and background sum up my own thoughts perfectly.

Great shot

I keep trying to capture these in portrait but whenever I rotate the camera they change their pose and I can't fit their tail in!!! Very envious.

Great lighting and the background sets it off really well. The head turn is just right

Well caught Phil I find myself agreeing with the other comments

Only nit for me and its only because when I post a shot like this some smart a*se always bemoans the fact that the tail is OOF and with that in mind

Intensely cute little chap - just like you Phil

Nice LTT and the BG colours compliment the subject nicely

Nice detail of a fab little bird. Like the bit of fluff in the beak with a nice BG too.

Wonderful!
Beautiful light. Love the sharp detail, great colors, excellent pose and BG - and that bit of (?) nesting material in it's beak is the coup de grace.
