Pleasant enviro image.

[David Salem]

Nice looking bird and I like the pose. I know you like habitat in your shots but I think the bush on the left is a bit messy and the OOF branch coming towards the birds reflection is a bit distracting, otherwise nice shooting.

[William Dickson]

I like that one better John, very natural looking

[John Robinson]

Thanks guys. Could easily be "tarted up" but I just wanted to post more or less "as was "
Cheers
John

[Ian Wilson]

Good one John. I think David is being a bit hard on you, I did not even notice the oof vegetation across the reflection until he mentioned it. But once you know it's there... Regards, Ian.

Thanks and no worries. That spotting on the breast, the grey sort of saddle, and the rest of the upperparts fringed in white mean that it is in first winter plumage, a two to three month old juvenile.
