Lovely capture and apt title. The bird does appear to have a bit of a green tinge on my monitor.
Singing beautifully. Was he being conducted by Owain Arwel Hughes? Oh dear I'm showing my age now. Spent a very enjoyable evening with him in a hotel room in the Europa Hotel, Belfast many years ago - but thats another story
Barry . . all Welsh birds are charming Lovely image Geoff. The strong diagonal formed by the perch gives it strength, the background is nicely graduated and the there is just enough streaky rain to show the weather. Great detail on the young bird and the singing puts the icing on it. Nice one.

Have the council started charging you tax on that shed of yours ? You spend more time in there than the shop.
(Well thats what your missus said...)
A bit over in the greens this end mate but technically as good as they come .
