Nice, i see a few of these around at the local CWT site, they are hard to nail down in my experiance. Is it full frame?

Very nice! I certainly have never been able to get close enough to one of these in my locality. A bit more room would be good if you have it.

Hi paul it is full frame, spose I could add some to the edges but I like the intimacy of this.
cheers

Thanks for sharing this bright bird! I even like the little pieces of seeds in the foreground.

Great shot!

Good stuff - got the eye right which is not always easy when it is jet black in a jet black head. Would prefer it without the food but how do get near them without baiting them in!

Hi Paul,

Lovely capture, as Jim pointed out brillant job on getting the eye right!

Yep that's a Bullfinch, I reckon the tight crop works with this one, nice one.
