Gosh, now that's a beatiful shot of a beautiful bird! Like the unusual shape of the perch leading up and out the frame, and the background leaf canopy (although I would be tempted to tone down the bright yellow leaf above his head as it drags the eye away from subject). Would be well chuffed if it was one of mine.

Classic flycatcher shot Phil, and as mentioned, a nicely angled perch!!

The small yellow leaf drags my eye also, but a lovely shot :toast: :toast:

Never seen one, but this makes me want to! Agree about the leaf.

Cracking shot. The eye and the perch make it for me.
