Nice habitat shot, Richard. The old fence has plenty of character to lend to the image.

Nice image, like the combo of the bird and old fence. Do wish the bird was larger in the image. Thanks for sharing.

Nice habitat shot. I too prefer to see a bigger bird in the picture, maybe with a slight head turn ?

Pretty nice capture Richard, I agree with John wishing it filled the frame a little more. However I understand all to well that to crop it more will degrade the image significantly. I have a pile of shots that if I just could have gotten closer.
