Lovely detail here, John. Great stuff, but if we get no more conditions like in this shot for the rest of the spring I won't be sorry!

That's a wonderful shot. One of your best IMO. So different from the normal woody shots and the colours in the whole image are superb.

Lovely shot, the colours are just right on this one ,and the little spots of sleet/rain just add to the atmosphere

Cheers,

Nice.... a slightly different view showing some of the features of the species nicely...

that is excellent John, it has a very different feel to most GSW shots. Very atmospheric.

A cracker John, very different composition and background. You obviously keep your windows very clean

Hello John.

Lovely shot. Really like the tail feathers.

I agree with all the comments! Super image. I never manage an exposure like that when it rains in scotland though - just tried on my yellowhammer again
