Female Beardy
One from Norfolk. A female reedling taken in the wind. These are magnificent small birds that are a pleasure to see...this one seen after several visits and hours waiting. C&C welcome.

Hi Ian,

lovely image with great lighting shame about the background but it a shot I would dearly love to have :toast:

It was certainly worth the wait. What beautiful colours and detail. Small nit re the BG but the perch was just made for the bird. :smile: :wavey:

She almost looks angry - patience rewarded though!

I'd echo Mark Simmons comment... she really looks as if she is giving someone the 'evil eye'! I'd be sorely tempted to clone out the in focus piece of reed in the lower foreground as I find it a bit distracting.
A cracking image image Ian.
