Nice one Richard, i guess the bird was out to make your day , just looking at the head turn its just for you type
We in wildlife wait so long for a good head turn and this bird has looked back at you , nice one
Lovely details
I like the look back pose and the topside view. wish it had a natural perch. the bird is quite noisy.

Nice finding, richard. I like the looking back pose and the colours. Noise is visible as noted earlier.
Great shot! Ideally, it would be nice on a natural perch. The noise is apparent, and I don't mind on some parts of the bird.
Hi all,
Thqnks for the comments. I'm using a 17in. Macbook Pro, and maybe my monitor isn't good enough, but what I interpret as feather detail, some of you are interpreting as noise. Could you please explain how you tell the difference, and is there a really good way to tell where to draw the line between the two? I'm not being argumentative, I just want to learn how to improve my images!
Thanks,
Richard
