Lovely shot, Major - nice to know that they are capable of standing still!

Nicely done Major,

Well balanced crop, with the bird looking into the space, and a fine resulting habitat shot!!

A very neatly composed image Major, the background compliments the subject perfectly too!

Now I think the subject looks brilliant Major and the OoF pine greenery looks nice; but for me those OoF maple(?) leaves look a tad distracting.

But there's not a lot you can do with these little dynamos i know, they call all the shots so you take what you can get :wavey: :wavey: :wavey:

Very difficult to catch these, and to get one singing is great! No nits.

Excellent shot and I really like the composition and environment. I've never seen one of these standing still!
