Redstart

Had no images of Redstarts so it was great to see and photograph them lask week, I think this is some sort of spider in his beak.

Nice head turn with good profile shot and like that position of the perch in the frame.

Very clean image and a lot of nice detail in the bird. Like the prey in the beak.

Exceptional, Karen. Love the angles where the perch and bird legs make a triangle, while more angles form elsewher along th eperch. Tons of detail in the bird really make it stand out.

The beautiful smooth back ground makes a perfect backdrop to display your lovely sharp image of this little Redstart.The ants? in his beak are an additional bonus.All together beautiful composition.

Beautiful bird on a nice perch. Soft background is very appealing here. Good pose by the bird and excellent exposure and sharpness. Just all round excellent.
