Nice one Joe. These have been missing from my garden all winter, the first few only popped in on Christmas day for the first time.
I hope that lens has healed up for you, but it may just be one of those things, maybe not so much contrast between the bg and the subject. I know my problems were worse with white subjects against dark bgs. Fingers crossed.

Nice shot that could have done with a slight turn of the head for perfection. It might also be worth trying a more 'pictorial' perch next time to add an extra something to the picture. They're lovely birds, which we don't get up here in northern Scotland until about April when they return to breed.
Cheers, Mark

Nice one Joe, agree a head turn may have helped and maybe allowed a less central position
