Managed to get a few shots in this years visit.
They only stopped for an hour in this particular garden..Stripped a viburnum in that time though.

You where lucky then John as these little beauties alluded me all winter. Some nice light on these two. That black border does seem to over power them a bit think it would look better if you made it thinner John.

Nice capture and light. You could try and remove that OOF branch, top right as it's a little distracting. Nit re border already mentioned and usually 1 to 2 pixels in depth is more than enough.
Kind regards,
Brett

Great shot John.
I agree with Brett about the oof branch.

Lovely pair and nice to see them both in the frame. The OOF branch doesn't bother me too much but the one coming out of the right hand birds bum looks uncomfortable
Very nice image John. Although not a cloner myself, i'd be tempted top remove the bit on the left. The twig-out-the bum bit I'm undecided on. Either way is ok. It didn't draw my eye to it and i didn't notice it to be honest. Thiner border as mentioned for me too.
