Very apt, today someones cat caught one on the feeder at home (RIP

), for me they are stunning birds. Hope they will continue to feed!

Suggest the top right corner item is cloned out, would help

Very nice shot John, it almost has a soft focus feel about it, like it.

Lovely composition and bird John - am also a fan of goldfinches. Bet they are another one that are hard to expose well but all great here
