This is a juvenile that fledged from a nest box nearby but stayed around the area for a month or two,while it continued to get the odd present from a parent.
That was 2 years ago and there were at least 3 nesting pairs in that area.After the weeks of deep snow we had in the winter there appears to be no nesting pairs in the same area this summer.

That's nice Phil, - and different.
I wonder if maybe toning down the highlights at the top
might help a bit. No big deal though.
Highlights in the BG are always a problem but a beautiful shot and lovely detail.

A very interesting shot of a beautiful bird, really like the perch. Such a shame about the nesting Barnies, I would imagine they have been affected nation wide.
