Our Tree spugs have nested successfully again this year, although their first brood has only had 3 chicks fledge. This is Dad doing his Christmas Fairy impression on his favourite shouting perch - now if I can only persuade him to use this spot in the winter when the Holly is frosted or snowy .
He has a couple of favoured shouting perches which he uses to declare his territory - he 'owns' 2 nest boxes in the garden and is preparing to move into the 2nd one for his next brood , guess it's one way to breed faster - don't bother cleaning out the old nest .

great perch and pose, maybe a bit tighter would be nice

Nice work.

Pleasure to view
Oh, the storyline made me laugh

I do not know how you can handhold that combo and get such a sharp picture! You must have a very steady hand or be very strong!

Bit too much space on top for me too and a slightly tighter crop all round would be my personal preference
Beautiful image though
