Another from my encounter in Essex. This one claiming his apple.

Lovely shot Tim but I keep looking at the dead straight line of the birds back. Very unusual to see a line like that on any wildlife. That bird must have some real attitude. A little cluttered if anything but then that is the environment the bird chooses and I do prefer to see them in their natural settings; it tells more of a story. Nice one.

Nice to see a bird doing what it does in its own environment. I see some artefacts around the edges of the bird (back and bill especially). Presumably this is due to sharpening, but I am guessing. No doubt someone will know how it could be fixed.

Hi Tim,

Nice capture! Nice to see the environment for a change but I do feel it is a little busy!

Hi Tim,

I like the apple inclued in this shot but do find the shot very cluttered wich makes my eyes go all around the image. On the other hand that's just their favourite environment...

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel

I'd love to get a fieldfare as good as this. It looks as if it's about to take off carrying the apple with it.

Cheers :toast:

Nice shot Tim. I don't mind the background, for me it tells the truth.
