Ey up, Keith

Thanks, the white line on the bill is a dry grass stalk, I thought about removing it but decided to leave it in place.

Hi Andy,

now that's a good looking perch. Nothing to comment, except to congatulate you on great photo. I would probably make an effort to remove the bright grass of the bill.

Cheers,
Marko

It is a fabulous image, superb background, terrific detail including the blade of grass, for me, seeing the bird as it really is, is what it is all about. :wavey:
