Well you can't get much better than that. Perfect perch, BG, and profile pose. Did you use mealworms?

Thanks Aidan, I placed the perch near a nest box and they used it right away.

Absolutely gorgeous, Alan. The color and feather detail are superb. As always, the background is flawless.

excellent Alan, sharp details and everything as usual. This one is razor sharp @ 1/500 sec with 600mm, excellent!

Hi Allen, Pretty much perfect in my opinion. Great detail, lovely background, and the vertical presentation really displays the bird and perch nicely. Another beautiful image. Thanks for sharing.

Sometimes I feel there should be a feature to add an auto-response to all your posts. This looks so pretty that there isn't much to say...
Thanks for sharing this Alan...

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great light, sharpness, composition, setup and BG, good-looking specimen, too.

[Krijn Trimbos]

Lovely shot Alan as always! The perch is great and fits this species well. Love the colours and HT captured. If this were mine I would probably place the bird and perch a bit more to the right. Otherwise perfect!

[Matthew Studebaker]

Love it - very natural perch here Alan. Perfect.
