Terrific capture, John. Two near-perfect WP poses for the price of one. How nice of them to pose right outside your window. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks both. I suspect they will be bringing the young back as long as I put out the gfrub !

Wonderful capture, John. The colors, poses, perch, light, and BG all work to make this an exceptional image. Super detail.

Thanks Will
All the stuff is coming in to the garden now but I,m so tied up with my horticultural interests and flower photography I,m affraid time is hard to find. I am hoping to get out more now like to Bempton etc but then I think well its all been done before, so I look for something different.and there just is no time to do anything.
spent all day yesterday doing one silly little plant!! I,d love to do hares ut there are none around here so there you go. Stick tp my pools and blue tits in the garden!!
All good fun though. Wish I could afford a month up at your area though !!
Cheers

Very nice John! I agree about this being one of your better posts. Looks great with both birds sharp and with nice poses and I like the BG and colors. Well done
