You have fast become an expert of wildlife photography Willie. Shot after shot & no dip whatsoever in quality. Your composition is well planned. Having the tree branch takes this from an ordinary photo & allows it to be magazine material. Your bokeh is excellent. Nice light green hues there. Stunning razorsharp detail in the bird. Focus is spot on again. Are you using auto or manual?. Exposure is just right again. Great range from midtones to highlights. Well done bud. Love this

Thank you so very much! I am using auto focus. They are so quick I would not have time to focus myself!

What a cocky little bird he is LOL! Posed real nice for you in this one. This is exceptional and needs no adjustments whatsoever. Great work.

You've done it again! Fabulous composition and framing. Lovely light, accentuating the birds colours and plumage. Background nicely blurred and unobtrusive - subject pin sharp! Well done

Comment from Polly Brown
This would have to be a female wouldn't it? It's so pretty. It looks like it's got proper eyelashes...and that coy look with the tilt of the head...
Beautiful focus as always with your bird shots.
Well done.

Comment from GronnMartini
this picture is well balansed and with nice colors and shadows
the storytelling ability is good and the bird is wondering what is happening
The only ting I would suggest is to show the wole bird with it`s tail as well. Anyway keep up the good work and have a nice day
