A nice composition, a touch of CCW rotation might help straighten the bird and maybe some extra selective sharpening so the bird really pop's from the vegetation?

Indeed a very unusual visitor to the garden. It might be my screen but it looks out of focus to me. :rolleyes:

Great shot, I wish I had these guys in my garden. Shame about the branch going through the head and might need a bit of sharpening on the face.

Agree with regards to sharpening and ccw, but I would certainly be very happy for one of these to appear in my garden!
