Redstart (male) looking alert.
Turned up briefly behind the pool. He's not happy about a squirrel to the right.Only got one shot
Always useful to have branches going across and above the rear of the water. Gets away from the same old viewpoint for a change which can get stale after a while.
D200 Sigma 100-300mm. ISO 640
80th @f8

Beautiful shot John, really sharp and detailed,. Love the pose - and the expression shows he's not too happy about something!! I hope he returns to provide you with some more although I would have been delighted with this one! :toast:

You only need one really good shot, John, and this is it. Hope he comes back - if not you have something great to remember him by.

Nice inquisitive look indeed adds to the image. I always seem to miss these.

He sure is curious John. Not a pose you see in a Redstart giving the bird an unusual look.
Well done. :toast:
