Bird on a fence

Waiting for my flight at JFK I spotted this little guy outside the windows and couldn't resist trying for a shot. Large version can be viewed at http://www.flickr.com/photos/22790325@N04/2630808222/sizes/o/

Thanks matt-l, not my usual but I've seen a lot of nature shots on flickr and TPF and thought I'd have a go. This is an extremely difficult subject to shoot and I have a new respect for anyone who can get a clean shot of a bird. I was inspired by this unbelievable shot>>> http://www.flickr.com/photos/wondermade/2484175613/
