Hmmm, I rather like this. Such neat habitat here between the many curled branches and what appear to be vines. Is this in the UK? I did not realize you had these over there.

Hi Dan yes, in the county of Cambridgeshire, the birds are pretty widespread now but not common in the UK.

I like it too, Jon. The environment makes it a very attractive image. Well exposed and lovely framing, nice colours, this just works:cheers:

Hi Jonathan, if you want my honest critique this image goes to the bin. speaking of IQ there is none, the birds has no detail whatsoever and the wing position makes it less attractive, I find it hard to believe someone who likes to see plumage details would even take this frame.

my 2 cents, please don't take personally :)
