Chaffinch
After digging out in the mud below, he came to this perch on top. Guess he's found something (may be an insect).
Almost full frame.

Nikon D70s + Sigma 500mm f4.5 EX
f/6.3, ISO200, 1/400
Essen, Germany.

Views welcome...

Like it a lot Kaushik! Good sharpness, although I might selectively sharpen the eye. Like the insect legs too. Might brighten the head just a little. Thanks for posting!

Have you posted this image before? I'm sure I've seen it not too long ago? Overall nicely done, but I detect a slight greenish cast.

edit: found your other post with this bird from a few months back...just a slighly different head angle.:)

Daniel,
Ah yes, you are right, I had posted a similar image but the bird had different (only slightly :) ) pose - it was facing the lens more directly.
