Sweet. Love the bird, the head turn, the perch. And I know you're not a fan of smooth BG, but I think this one's lovely. Well exposed, too.

Excellent pose here John!
Lovely light also, this must be one of those hard to miss species since it has such coloration! I am not familiar with this specie but I bet is a small guy! the tiny hooked bill is what catches my eye. Love the pose, BG and I wish the perch was not broken.

yes very colourful but getting rarer in my part of England. Don't know why.
About the size of a plump Sparrow !!

Great looking bird and I love the bg. Could reduce the noise some, and I do wish that the perch wasn't broken.

A lovely image, John. Well placed subject, with plenty of space to look into. I love the simplicity of the image. It gives full attention to a great subject.

Super John super excellent exposure and details one of your best I'd say. If it was mine I would get rid of the upright stumpy bit at the base of the tail
