Superb portrait here with the bird wearing a snow cap. Shutter speed perfect for falling snow.

Very nice...I would loose the screw...but great pose, head position, BG.
Thanks

2nd on losing the screw, great capture with the snow. Well done

Screw gone away !
Cheers

Excellent image for the theme, John. I prefer the repost.

The screw is a very British thing I think! I agree it looks fine without but this is the sort of scenario that is regularly seen in UK, in fact I am constantly on the look out for an old fence post with attached screw, clasp or hinge etc.
Lovely shot John, if this is cropped I would reduce it a little I suspect image quality would improve a little. The snow on his head looks great well done.

Thanks all
Jon Yes- about 60% of frame but am having a job finding the original.

Nice capture John,like the pose and the snow on the perch and BG,the repost is the one.TFS.

I like the snow on the head, pose and composition. I prefer the repost as well. Well done John.

Thanks guys.
I think this is the original. may have been in a quick burst.

Yes better I would crop just a little from the RHS and base to improve presentation.
