This bird has a nest in some ivy on our house wall.
Had posted earlier with nesting material, but now they are activeley feeding young.
Try as I may with various perches they would not readily oblige so this is the best I could achieve after quite some time.

Nothing wrong with the perch Major. It shows the habitat of this particular bird. Good shot and big mouthful.

Very nice image, Abit of selective sharpening around the head and it will be perfect :toast:

Hi Major

An excellent close-in shot. Great detail and pose with the food in the beak. Can't really fault it. My only minor comment is the positioning of the bird in the frame, it might work better with the bird higher in the frame with more of the empty space below the bird. A minor comment though, I'd be happy to bag this shot.

cheers

Hi Major,

I agree with all the above. Nice one! If you were to take a series of pictures of the Wrens and produce an article about them, these perches are just the stuff you want - helps tell the story!
