    Another from the woodland shoot.

    When I was a youngster, we had milk delivered to the doorstep early morning, in glass bottles with aluminium foil on top. These little guys would break open the tops, and drink the cream at the top of the bottle

    Thanks for looking.

    Hi Will, you have really nailed this species, very nice indeed, definitely one of your best and of this subject posted to date.

    Good story and a very nice image, due to the nice pose background and the bird itself.
    I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only old guy on this forum, LOL.

    Hi Will, love the leaning out pose against that colourful BG. I do like how he's grabbing onto the trunk of the tree. I feel the sharpening is spot on.

    Will ignore my comment regards sharpening it looks just fine - I probably had the wrong glasses on!
