Good one Alan- and not a mealworm in sight ! Good to see you popping up a again. Maybe a bit big in frame for me with the bird a tiny bit too far left.
Just my personal view- each to their own.
I still miss your flower stuff !!
Cheers

Another cracker

General curiosity, does the 1DmkIV have a weaker Anti Aliasing filter compared to previous iterations? - I ask because in this and previous great tit shot some of the fine the feather detail is taking on a moire patterning look of strong "Zebra" striping

Alan that is an astounding rail sho, love it, big and bold!

Mike, I have only ever had moire on a woodpecker shot, grey headed, that I have noticed and it was with the 1DIV.

Exceptional detail a pleasure to view. Often heard them but still to see one.

A smart rail here Alan in lovely light. Perhaps a little BIF but no biggie
