I've been having a nice time with the local pieds and their antics. They will fight off anything which comes with in two trees of the nest. This male has just spotted a nuthatch which had strayed too close.

Those white spots are a bit distracting but the pose makes it a really nice shot. They are agressive indeed.

Well done.

Very nice shot with the forest canopy for a background. I like it.

Hi Paul,

I like this a lot! Love the composition and the pose! The background adds interest IMO!

Interesting behaviour and makes a change from the usual pose. I can't help feeling that the bird needs a bit of a lift to compete with the bright background. Maybe darkening the bg might help a bit.
