Nice catchlight in the eye Karen. Nice BG too. Not so keen on the perch but you have to take them where you can :wavey:

thanks Maggie no say in this perch I am afraid,these birds move so fast I just take them when I can especially if the light and background is half decent :smile:

Perch covered and fully understand the restrictions. Excellent exposure / processing with good detail in blacks and the whites, nice and sharp and a good catchlight in the eye.

Hi Karen
Judging by the smallish bib and shiny head it could be a Marsh but its not easy and I can't see that tell tail white mark at the base of the beak.
Nice shot whatever

Hi Karen,


nice sharp and well exposed with a very nice background. Nit re the perch covered but as you say they land where they want and you have to take your chance :wink:

Hi Karen, great capture of a beautiful bird. :toast:

okay, i dont know how much room you have around the frame, i would be tempted to make the bird lower to remove some of the perch..
great detail in the bird tho, lovely.
