Like the setting and the combination of red and blue works well together.

PS. You've got a dust spot by the corner of the chimney.

Hi Major,

Nice shot. I have Jackdaws sitting on my chimney most days, so this image gives me something to work to.

Well Done

Regards

Nice one Major - never see enough urban wildlife shots

For my own tastes I'd like to see a bit more space left frame, enough so that the lower 'daws eye was on the frames vertical center - but that's just me

Underated this type of stuff, and a nice capture here with really nice lighting. Hope this was from a window and not after scaling walls

Many thanks for the comments.
Mark this image was taken from the roadside. As you walk down to Runswick Bay the houses are perched on the hillsides as you go down, so many of the roof tops are basicaly at head height if you see what I mean.
