Indeed difficult to photograph, but you did a good job on this one

Very tricky to get as I found out when I came across one in the local woods and tried to get a shot recently! Yours is far superior to my effort! I like the lighting in this shot

You were lucky with that !
Not many of these done away from the nest .
Good stuff

There is one of these visiting my garden regularly at the moment, but I've not managed to get a photograph of it yet!
Very nice image, congrats. :)

a very nice image, I've never managed a decent shot of one of these
A great achievement to get one as good as this time of year.
Excellent shot.

You did very well to get one of these in good light. I normally find them on the damp northern side of the trunks in the shade. Good detail in the highlights and a background that shows the subject up well.

Nice shot of a tricky species - a liitle more eye contact would really have made the image!
