Nice one. I like head shots at times but a habitat plus bird job does it for me . Great atmosphere to the shot.
Great compostion but may possibly be improved with a bit of work to bring out the reddishness in the plumage. Possibly looks a bit to much yellow on my monitor.
I must admit I have not seen one since moving north, a rare autumn migrant up here.
Nice to see a picture of a bird in its natural environment. It doesn't always have to be full frame!

I agree re the environment aspect. it makes for a more interesting image. The greens look a bit over-saturated to me or it may be a yellow/green cast. Others on here will know better than me. Nice image. Eric.
