Excellent image Jack,

My only minor nit is the oak leave covering the tail.

Worth the wait.

Not bad, taken with a 30mm F4 lens??! :eek: :wink:

Autumn/winter colours make it look great.

Very nice shot Jack, the perch and BG make for a very pleasing image.

I take it you mean 300 f/4 L? Lovely shot, I like the contrast between the colours of the bird and the brown leaves. Looks nicely sharp in the right places too.

I agree with others, a lovely shot with appealing colours and lighting
