I guess this is a female stonechat, I see numbers of these when waiting for the barn owls, quite a tame little bird.

Nice size in the frame and a nice background. Check those dark feet and beak areas - they look purple to me.

Great shot. Nice blurry BG and a sharp subject.
The only nit I have is that it looks like you have done some photoshopping in the down right corner of the picture just beneath the perch. There is a pale green place which does not match the surrounding green.

a nice shot, well taken. The background looks slightly noisy on my monitor.

A little too large in the frame for my personal taste, but a nice sharp image with a good background.
I agree with David Slater about those purple feet though!
