Another one from earlier in the year taken again in Norfolk. It was windy whilst taking the photo and the reed swayed from left to right, making it difficult to get an accurate shot.

Hello Ian.
Think you have got a very good image for a small bird on a reed stem on a windy day.

Given the wind you've focussed well and got a nice image - love the way the bird is nibbling for seeds.

It would have been nice to have the top of the reed stem in as well, but on a windy day that is probably asking for just too much. Great shot in the circumstances you describe.

Lovely shot of an attractive bird in its natural habitat which is equally attractive.
Great eye contact and nice to see it feeding. Excellent sharpness in the conditions too

Yes indeed, excellent eye and I like the impression that it is peering out from the reeds

Love how the bird is framed by these lovely reeds and the preering over look is very good and makes the image IMO,lovely light also bringing out the colours and adding warmth to the image,lovely shot Ian

A hard one to get well caught and colurs look great
