Nice sharpness, and nice colour.

Everyone is posting singing birds now

Great image Andy. Never seen them singing perched like this. Don't know if you can tone down the perch a bit in places?

Like the composition

Nice pose Andy, as Graeme, the perch could really do with being toned down a bit, but a cracking image all the same

Cracking image Andrew just a pity the perch is coming through it's head

Unusual Dunnock image

Great pose and BG. I might be tempted to cloan out the displaced tail feather - either way still very nice!

One of the best shots i've seen, of the hard to see Dunnock

An out of the ordinary shot, slightly light on my monitor, but excellent nevertheless.

Hi to all,
Thanks for the comments , I've tried to tone down the perch as suggested but I seem to make things worse??? , my old nemesis strikes again , dam you Photoshop

Thanks again for looking
Kind regards
