Wow, lucky you to have this outside your window! Beautiful bird and nice fluffed up pose here!

Great result for such a low shutter speed! I like the feather detail and DOF.

Pleanty sharp for such a low SS !! Wish the angle was not as steep .

Cool to have this outside your window! I like the vertical crop but I wish the bird was lower in the frame. Neat BG, I like the leaves and patches of colour (not so much the OOF stick though).
