Nice perch, looks a bit second hand, a young/old bird? Hope you get out and about more soon :wink:

Nice BG and light Andy - pity the bird wasn't a bit higher up the branch then the leaves wouldn't be encroaching quite so much but you take what you can get - nice one matey :wavey:

Nice to see you're out'n about again :biggrin:

Nice to get Mr Willow Warbler out in the open so to speak, but just find those OOF leaves a bit of a distarction Andy.

Nice pose and background. I wonder if another round of USM to the bird would be in order?

Nice pose and comp Andy. Pity about a couple of those leaves, but still a fine shot.
