Very nice, Keith, and the shot that still eludes me. I might think about getting rid of that grass stem bottom right, but no big deal.

Hi Keith.. the pose on this makes this a very nice shot of a shortie.

Echoing the above comments the pose is really unusual and seperates this from other similar images. Background perfectly compliments the bird. A delightful image.

This shot eluded me last time...maybe next year. Obviously close and comfortable, nice detail.

Superb! Love the head turn. I would leave the grass as it's a hint of habitat. Small version looks a bit magenta.

As Andy Rouse would say "simply beautiful"! Nothing else to say really.

Excellent - a very coy expression and therfore a bit different to many shortie shots :toast:
