D7000 500mm f4 ISO 400 1/250s at f8 tripod.
Many thanks for your comments on my last image.
I do love these little birds not only for their colours but for their agility and speed which I find so challenging to capture. To me they are the SAS of the feeding station.....dash in, grab and out before anyone can stop them! Different perch and more dynamic pose. All C+C warmly welcomed.

That's a great shot, I would still prefer a little more space around it, but that is just personal taste.

Exceptional detail, and they are never easy to capture at the best of times.
