    I did toy with removing the partial stump at the base and the twig to the left of the tail, it looks cleaner but I felt just a bit too clean - probably a little unrealistic.

    Another shot from the back garden hide, suet used for bait.

    Wonderful shot. I like the composition, moss on the perch and bg in this one.

    What a beauty, both the bird and your capture. Like that we see at least one foot. Great perch with nice smooth BG.

    Hi Jon - this just works on all counts with nice detail and a pleasing bg. The placement in the frame is great too. Nice one.

    TFS,
