Nice image Phillip - barbed wire doesn't bother me at all, but not overly keen on the background, it's a bit lurid, but can't be helped :smile:

Great to see him with a good 'gob full' too :biggrin:

I like :toast: :toast:

Hi Phillip,
Amazing close up, do you have NX? It has a colour picker tool so you can choose another background colour.

Nx seems to have done a great job. Very good shot too and what a beakful!

The second background is better! I am not a great lover of images of birds with stuff in their beaks but this is one of the nicest european birds!
