I haven't seen these little birds in my garden for some weeks, and then they just turn up again. Its good to see them back in y garden again. I hope they stay to breed again like last year when a pair had three broods

Canon 7D canon 500mm f4 lens , f 5, 1/640 sec, ISO 1000

Smashing shot Ron. A slightly smaller aperture may have got a bit more dof on the tail but you can't win 'em all :biggrin:
Cheers

Full of character Ron. Focus is spot on the eye and the background shows it's typical habitat. Nice one.

Fabulous detail and a very nice looking back pose,the only slight distraction for me is that the perch he is on nice as it is, doesnt seem to fit well with the others.They are very uncommon in our area and the numbers are reducing every year, would be very happy just to see one.
