More practice!!! - this time the wind was howling and the mousebird was being really ruffled. unfortunately I could only get him on the wall.

Jeni that bird has character !!! ... and he is keeping close tabs on you !!! :)
Really like the pose with raised feathers and tilted back head Good job of placing the bird just to the right in frame Tail has been cut but not much you could do here since showing more wall was not a good option !! Sure wish you could get the bird in a better perch I know you will get him !!!
Hi Jeni, I'm echoing Alfred's comments, character indeed, nice eye and head angle. I don't think I've ever seen a Mouse bird before, thanks for posting!
