These tiny little leaf gleaners are common across most Australia where there are eucalypts

Cheers Keith.

What a beautiful bird. Very nice image.
If this were mine, I would be tempted to remove those leaves on the top right.

Rob: what a beautiful little bird. The detail and color you've captured are exceptional. I would suggest removing the leaves in the upper right corner and consider a crop of some of the left side and top. That would take the bird more off-center. Fine photo nonetheless. Richard

Nice photo of this bird Rob. I would vote for cloning the the leaves from the top right also and moving the bird left out of center. Clean BG. :smile:
