What a great oppurtunity to be faced with and all from the comfort of your home too .
A fine shot in good light, the wet surroundings add something to the image too.
The green leaves in the background look a little too saturated but colour is a very subjective thing anyway and the rain probably helped accentuate the colour.
A well seen and well taken oppurtunity.

Obviously you've got very clean windows, Maggie Excellent as it is for me.

We get these in our garden, but they never stay long enough for a shot like this. A garden bird with a difference.

Hi Maggie,
Nice shot! Great pose with the resting foot and the quality looks great for a 'through the window' job.
Cheers,
Lewis.

Lovely! Looks good considering taken from indoors in rain. I love the raised foot and pose.

You have to take these chances when they come your way. Excellent shot, although I agree with Justin that the leaves look a little over-saturated. It's only a minor nit though.

Very nice encounter Maggie and well captured. Great pose.. I think the colour of the leaves can often look like that in the rainy weather so they're fine for me..
