Hi David,
Some good Springtime activity caught here.
Might be worth tweaking the colour balance slightlyas the bird has quite a pronounced magenta colour cast.

Very nice image, i agree with Justin that the image suffers a bit from wrong colour balance but that is easy to correct! Nice one

Thanks for the input folks.

I thought the colour was out, but I posted it anyway just to make sure.

Is this any better?

Hello David.

Repost is much better.

Looks like she's had a good bath before carrying on with the nest material collecting.

Good capture showing the activity well.
