Notice the white smudge at the base of the beak. Good aid for Marsh/Willow ID
Usual window set up.

Lovely and sharp and a great creamy background. I presume this is through single glazing? I can't do anything through our double glazed jobs :toast:

For a second there John I thought the white smudge was on your ultra clean window !! .... my missus nearly stopped cleaning ours but not to worry, I've got her back out there again.
:biggrin:
Nice shot.

Very nice Jihn - love the background and super detail in the bird.

Hello John.

Super image and the lighting, detail and background are just right to give this a nice quality about it.

I wouldn't have guessed this was taken through glass, single or double. I think it is a cracking image - mainly because of the background.

Difficult little beggars to get still, great image through glass
