Love the perch Jeroen! Very jealous as we don't get many Kingies here on the west coast of Scotland. :razz: :biggrin: Bit more on the top would be nice if you have it.

Hi Jeroen, the Master of KF's. The slightly overcast conditions works well, bringing out the very natural colours and plumage. The beating wings takes the image to the next level, congrats on this one. :toast: :toast:
