I really hope I can get some more this winter, I love those birds! Great shot John, the over the shoulder look is nice. could do with a suicidal blue tit flying at him if you could?

The perch is less smaller then my Robin perch and your bird is a lot bigger. :)
Nice pose and great shot John.

Some cracking detail here, John, especially on the large version. I like the pose too.

Can't fault it, John. Bugger of a bird to get close to, even in the car they are off at a 100yds.
