Thanks for the comments guys :toast:

Hi John, I managed to see the RBF but didn't manage a shot due to the camera being in the car at the time :mad: I had some very good views of Red-backed and Great Grey Shrike but no decent shots of these either.

Great shot - the lichen covered wall draws the eye as much as the bird does.

Hi Andrew,

Nice composition and great perch! The birds head/eye does look a tad soft to me, easily sorted with a touch more USM.

Regards

Hi Andy,

Good looking picture. I agree with Rob about the eye.

Nice shot Andy. A tiny bit soft around the eye, but as Rob says, easily sorted.
