thanks everyone Phil the background is the same one I used with one of my fieldfare images,I have a very long garden and at the bottom is a painted shed with a dark coloured plant growing up with a acer in front of that,and it just blends to give me this colour,although with the different light it has come out lighter than that on the fieldfare image

Other than just cloning out a few little pale spots (bait crumbs?) by the Wrens feet, this is a cracking image that I would be very pleased with myself, well done!

thanks Nigel but they aren t bait crumbs she wouldn t eat crumbs only live food its just specks of wood I think

A first class example of a difficult species to capture.
