This is his bad side !
One twisted secondary wing feather and the beak end crossed.
The pupil of the eye on this side seems too far up and he has this permanent wierd expression.
If I go and put the pastry/suet mix out he's there within
two minutes. Usual window job. Tea on the left - Telly on the right

He does have a strange appearance but all the more appealing for it. Nice image well captured.
I'm surprised you need a telly with the number of birds in your garden. Think what you could save on the licence

Looks rough , the bird not the image.
I'll bet you spared a thought for those braving the elements...for at least 1 second?
Nice one again.
