Double-barred Grass Finch
This Double-barred finch (Often called an owl-bird) was attracted to this Banksia cone where I had placed a few grains of millet-seed in the empty seed-pods of the cone.

This is a lovely shot John, Perch and background are brilliant and a nice sharp bird.
This is a great duo! That bird and perch were made for each other. Good background and pose.
John:
Magnificent image.Agree with Laurie,bird and perch are made for each other.Both of them have very nice and artistic design on them.
Love the pose of finch with open beak,backdrop and beautiful composition.

Sweet sweet sweet!
That perch is crazy cool.
Bird looks great, lovely plumage, cool finch pose, and a perfect head angle.
Great image.
nice image,love the BG and perch,like the birds pose.thanks.
John:
The pose, perch and BG work very well in this image, very engaging, clever use of pod to hide the seeds.
On my work monitor, it looks a bit bright overall.
Well set up and executed!
Cheers

Hi John, great view of the Finch showing off good sharp detail and colours. Interesting looking cone, and it looks so unique. Your comp is perfect, and well thought out to place the seeds as you did.
Super interesting perch kinda goes with the birds patterns as well.I like the expression too
The perch matches the bird very well. Nicely planned and carried out image.
Cloned copies :)
As mentioned here excellent match of the patterns of the perch/pod and the bird. Excellent light and details too
Amazing combo of bird and perch. Nicely thought out and executed. Bird's face seems just a tad bright on my screen.
An other striking shot of this bird, John.
Another awesome pairing of perch and bird from you. Wonderful background, super comp. I might tone the brightness down a little but this is pretty near perfect, John.
Great shot again of this species. Everything looks nice and sharp. Exposure looks good but looks a little bright on my monitor. Very well done John!
Many thanks to everyone for your comments and tips.
Superb bird/perch combo here, and the BG is wonderous too. Vertical comp works very well, and I especially like the horizontal leaves at the bottom. Looks a bit bright from here too, but seeing that the blacks are already pretty dark and looking good I'd only tone down the midtones and/or brights rather than the whole image.
Excellent image John! I like the pose, perch, BG, IQ and composition.
Beautiful bird on an amazing perch. Nicely done.
