I was standing at the loch side photographing the BHGs, when this curious guy turned up. I wished the bird had chosen a thiner perch, but this wasn't a set up, anyway I kinda liked the reds on the perch which blended with the red breast on the bird. I did look at a vertical crop, but wasn't happy with it.
Beautiful image Will, personally I like the lichen covered perch, also the pose, detail in bird and fabulous background.
This is a fine example that good photographers can make great images of a common species.
I really like this Will.
I love the fact that the orange lichens match the bird.
I do not mind the size of the perch at all.Bird is exquisitely detailed .
No nits from me,

As John said so much cooler than our American Robins. I really like the detail and clean image design. I don't mind the perch -- its a bit large but it has great character and thats what the bird picked. Good look at the eye as well. TFS
