I like this little bird and he's well detailed and sharp. Great BG as well. I think it could use less of the perch by cropping off the bottom as it's competing with the little stonechat. I might have gone with more DOF since it looks like you had plenty of light and gotten more of the perch in focus to show off the nice lichen on the front.

A great BG and a nice little bird. I like the composition, but I agree reference the perch, as it is a tad in your face. The Stonechats white collar seems a little bit hot on my screen.

A very neat looking little bird which you captured in a nice pose. I love to see the different birds on this site that I would not otherwise get a chance to see. He reminds me of a Hummingbird's head with a Bluebird's chest.
