Wish I had some local KF's :wink: Nicely composed with great head position. Maybe you could tone down the bottom right corner a bit?

I agree about the bottom right, but I would be very happy with this.

Thanks for comments chaps - I had actually set the camera up (read - bolted it down due to light) to try to capture the KF landing on the perch, hence the landscape set up.

I missed that, so rather than spook the bird, I recomposed while the bird was doing that thing that KF's do so well - sitting stock still while you take a photo :biggrin:

Incidentally, my new website/blog is up and running now, so if you have a spare minute........
