A Blackbird sunbathing on my garden shed roof. Could be sharper but it was a grab shot taken hand held from an upstairs window.

Sigma SD14
Sigma 50-500 zoom lens
Hand held
Natural light
RAW adjustment in SPP3
Cropped and some USM PS Elements 4

Hi David,

I love it when birds do this, i always worry they are making themselves vulnerable to sparrowhawks and the like though, but they look like they are really enjoying it too.

After seeing Brian's image of a young chough I thought I'd add this image of the blackbird having the same idea. :toast: :toast:
