Your getting good at this Jon...I feel that the flight pose here would benefit from more room all around. Its a pity that the birds right wing is slightly blurred compared to the other one. The colours on the sparrow are spot on...I think a faster SS would help. I was doing Eiders in flight last week and even at 1/3200 they were showing quite a bit of blur on the wings...at take off.
Good work....If it hadn't been for lockdown you probably wouldn't have tried this.

Nice effort and fun but this is a bad head angle....

Love the look on the bird. Pretty funny. Nice view of the feet as well.

Hi Jon ....agree with Will , without Corona we might have not seen this kinda shots from you .
I like it really a lot , seeing your progress. The head angle might be not optimal but I still like it though . Wonderfully spreader wings and the feet facing forward are nice .Think you could afford a tiny bit more depth in the mid tones and I might drop the blues in the subject a fraction .
Nice one and TFS Andreas

OOH if that was square on Jon... would either move position or cloak the post in the BKG.

Looks like you are having fun with this project. How many shutter clicks have you used up since lockdown?
The post is the problem for me. I would clone it out.
Good wing flare.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I am at a bit of a loss though regarding the head position, I just don't get it what's the big deal if the head is perpendicular to the sensor, I do have shots like that but then, you see the eyes at almost 180 degrees, so what is good about that?
Gail that is an out of focus tree, one day I might deal with it another not, I am fickle about things like that, - I don't know why I just am. Shutter clicks since lockdown = 0, I use electronic shuter.
