Tree Sparrow
The gorgeous background colours really helped in the creation of this image,framing was difficult as I wanted to include the brown leaves which almost matched the chestnut head of the sparrow.

I really like this Craig because of the setting and the detail throughout. I like the contrasting colours of the scenery with the bird and the exquisite light you've captured here very well. Nice one.

I like this one Craig. It is difficult trying to get an uncluttered b/g whilst they are perched in the bushes, but you have nicely succeeded here. The brown leaves work well too, like it.

Nice image of a sparrow with great environment around. The colours and tones in the bird are great Craig.
