Love the colours on the head and while the twigs are quite busy they work here as they do not seem too intrusive. Wish I had these beauties outside my bedroom window! :smile:

Nice image John, the snow adds something special to it. Background is a bit busy for my likings.

No nits from me, I like a bit of habitat, the snow has really lit this onevup. :toast: :toast:

I think most people would kill for a garden like yours........

Liking the way the bird really stands out against an almost monochrome background :smile:

I also like the way the bird stands out. All I get from my bedroom window are magpies and next doors cat :wink:

Excellent John. I like the habitat in shots and it's not too busy for my taste. The only shot I get from my window is either next doors caravan or a wall!

Lovely warmth to the bird in a cold looking setting. Never seen a Hawfinch and haven't even seen any snow this winter!
