    It's really nice to see birds pristine plumage but I couldn't resist this Great Tit, he's got to be one of the scruffiest birds around here!

    All C & C welcome.

    Wow Jon!

    What an interesting character! And technically, how nice. You've presented your subject against a beautiful background, and on a most interesting perch, beautifully exposed and composed. Very, very nice!

    In the biosphere of this planet that we inhabit, aren't birds terrific?

    Well done! And thanks for sharing this image with us.

    Yes a very interesting looking "vulture". I might lighten up the face area a bit, particularly around the eye. Lovely bg.

    Very well done.

    This is outstanding. Love the BG, perch & the light.
    Would have loved to see a bit more light on its eyes.
