    A superb classic chaffy in song. The branch in front of the bird's wing is not ideal but nor is it a deal breaker.

    Nice image Jon with good natural colours and good sharpness. I too wish the branch wasn't in front of the wing but that is my only negative.

    Hi Jon, good singing pose with the open beak, and I like how the pose follows the line of the perch. I havent seen this species before, but I do like the colours on him.
