Barely had the camera out all winter - now eagerly awaiting some insect activity. This chap has been hanging around our bird table for a couple of years now and makes a handy subject for checking out gear and getting ones hand in again.

Good colour and impact. Could possibly be a fraction sharper, although the laptop I'm viewing it on wouldn't be the best screen for evaluating sharpness.

Colourful shot Malcolm. They do seem to be getting the idea of bird feeders these days.
