Hi Alan,

A nice in habitat shot. Well done for keeping the eye unobscured by any branches.

That's nice Alan. I think that a 'tangle' of twigs can actually enhance images of secretive wee birds like dunnocks - says more about the behaviour.

Cheers

Illustrates the rather skulking behaviour of these birds rather well. The only thing that I would like to improve is the oof branch immediately to the right of bird, but this is a minor thing.

Hi Alan, good light and eye-contact, but a bit cluttered, but thats the way there are this time of year
