This was taken in between hail storms in a friends garden on Monday,there was a great feeding set up for us to photograph the birds on but this tree provided a great perch and frame I think.

Hi Stu,

Lovely and sharp and I too like the perch. Your friend is lucky to have these visiting his garden, Blackcap is a bird that has been on my wishlist for a while.

Regards

Very natural looking shot Stu. I'd be well pleased with this if it was mine.

I really like the framing too Stuart and the dark Bg sets her off a treat.

Agree, great perch to frame her against the unusual, but very nice, background colour
