Very nice Simon. Looks like it's there right outside my window. Excellent exposure and sharp showing great detail. You clicked and got a nice pose and look from the bird with a catchlight as well. Don't know if its the correct habitat but it seems that it should be there. Like it.

Good work separating the bird from the setting.

Very nice, Simon. The surroundings are a bit busy, but he does pop off that background nicely.

cool shot, Simon. nice pose and setting. my personal comp preference would place the bird very slightly further to the left, but only by a small amount.
