Was photographing some reed buntings when this fella dropped by on some bramble at the side of me, so grabbed a quick shot,was pleased to get a shot of one off the ground for a change,near enough full frame just a tad off the left

Great capture Karen, the bird is really nice and sharp and the eye contact is perfect.
the background complements the colours too and the buds just starting to come out adds to the image nicely.

A grey day, no wonder it looks fed up. Excellent capture, with the complementary colours.

I watch one of these most days in the garden , shots like this remind me that I should point a camera at it !. Nice shot.

Pin sharp bird and just enough tonal differences in the OOF background to stop it being bland too! excellent!

Nice shot Karen. You are so fortunate to get such an uncluttered foreground and clean background on an opportunistic shot. Looking forward to seeing some of the reed buntings.
