This little sod has caused me no end of problems lately - it and its mate had a nest behind my satelite dish back in early april and when they came in to feed the chicks the parents would perch just behind the LNB - you'd know when they'd arrived 'cos the picture on the tv would dissappear and be replaced with "No Satellite Signal is being Recieved" :eek: :eek: :eek: - bummer when you're in the middle of Neighbours :biggrin:

Well timed shot Andy.

Much better than neighbours too.

Anything that stops Neighbours from bein gshown is OK with me.

A great 'stop action' shot Andy. I love the splayed feathers

It's a great shot Andy. Like the unusual pose and technically looks bang on and processed well for the web.

Good work :toast:
