    Default Claws on a claw ?

    As I have said, these birds love trying anything around the farm yard to sit on. This is a spare tine of some sort of cultvator. I had to cough to get the bird to look at me. Thought the head would unscrew !!

    Seen them do this a lot but never managed a shot before. Not sure if male or female - female I think). Bird quite a way off.

    Nice one Johnny, I like the pose and the eye contact. I suspect you had light and shade on the subject the eye on my right seems to be a slightly different colour to the other. Detail is good and an unusual perch with a great title.

    Nice look back stare from this cool little owl. Neat perch for it and I like the BG color too. Good eye contact too. Maybe a bit brighter? Nice capture.
