Taken today in the garden from hide. It seems to have a touch of the JRs i.e. a green tinge. Can only assume this is the reflection of the grass under the perch as all my shots taken on this perch have turned out the same.

I quite like the 'rainbow' background, very interesting.
It does look a little green, I agree, but not to the point it detracts.
I enjoyed looking at it anyway, which is kind of the point I guess!

What with toad gangbangs and dunnocks exposing themselves do I detect a trend here Maggie? There is a slight green tinge; but only noticible because you mentioned it, I think.

Nice capture Maggie. I have seen this several times but never when I have had my camera
A good capture of the behaviour Maggie but as an image is doesn;t work for me. The bird facing away, the bland and distracting perch and the fact that my eye keeps getting drawn to the birds arse all contrive to spoil it for me. I agree that the green cast is a reflection from the grass as it only appears on the underside of the bird.
