Hi Phillip

What a great variation on the usual 'bird on a stick' shots. I like the close up feel to the shot, quite intimate, great eye contact with the bird and stunning detail.

cheers

A very nice shot in natural surroundings with the added bonus of a berry in its beak

Nice work.

Hi Philip,

A really nice shot made all the more special by the berry in the beak.

Very nice. I like the other bird in the b/g, gives a sense of communal feeding that these birds do. Lots of detail in there too.
