Very interesting perch. I think the head/eye could do with some more USM.

Cracking detail - love it
Might have gone LS with this shot myself - give him a bit of space to look into and miss out that OoF bit in the top right corner, but it's a lovely image Major - nice one
i dont know what it is about Wagtail's it always seems a problem to get them to look sharp,I have quite a number of shots that I look at from time to time, and I am never really happy with them,but a great shot none the less....

Smart bird on a great perch, a very nice shot Major!
Very Nice Major.
I find it quite remarkable,and very appealing, just how closely the colours of the wall mirror those of the bird, with a perfect combination of light and dark greys and the welcome splashes of yellow.
