Another from my new feeding station. Taken this morning as the sun came up in lovely golden light. This time the male, who is a lot more cautious than the female. Hopefully he will get more confident in time.
Thanks for looking!

Bit hot on the tree for me but cracking warmth.

With the light coming from this angle you are always going to have problems getting a balanced exposure. In this case you have just about managed to control the highlights, but there is little or no detail in the deeper shadow areas and blacks. You may be able to move your hide around to the right which will provide more even lighting. If this is not possible, or is undesirable for other reasons, you should think about using flash to fill the shadows and bring out the detail in the plumage.
