Hi,

A particularly confiding Little bird from this morning, female I think, did try to get her with nesting material but failed completely (Oh the low ISO - I forgot to change it)

All the best

Phil

Sharp bird Phil and nice pose. It is a drab colour for a chiffchaff.......must have lost its mojo!

Cheers all... Phil, Nick Its strange, the posted image is darker and duller than my original in Lightroom... it is a problem I have come across before and only occurs when I have saved from Elements which I did here in order to reduce the file size... trouble is I should know what is causing it and I don't... Thinking cap on....

All the best

Phil

A lovely capture of an often overlooked species.

A very 'sweet' image Phil, can't comment on colour, but perhaps a hint more sharpening? Would a slight desaturation of the leaves help in not drawing the eye?

BTW what happened to Turdus merula? LOL.
