Hi Phil,

The male is great, perfect pose and the food in the beak is a bonus. I'm not too sure about the female though, she seems to be pinned to the box by her tail :biggrin:

I like this a lot. Nice to see the pair in the same plane of focus and a very interesting behavioural shot. :toast:

Sorry Phil., but in the light of recent comments about nest photography etc, etc, I do'nt think this is a good advert for bird photoraphy. Spring watch is bad enough and I dont think this is helping. Imagine everyone going out and saying " I'll try this "
Just my opinion after the crap I,ve had thrown at me .
Cheers
John
