Not on the normal type of perch but it was about the only one that wasn't blowing about in the wind yesterday

I'm liking this Maggie, as you say perch is different but doesn't detract IMO, sick of the wind at the moment ruined my plans this weekend.

Very different perch Maggie,
I like composition and quality of this shot.

Know what you mean Maggie, tried yesterday but just couldn't manage one successfully due to the wind. Well done to you.

Like it Maggie. The fencepost makes it stand out from the usual perches.

Hello Maggie.

Nice work Maggie, a little bit of a halo around the abdomen but otherwise it works for me despite the perch
