I have not seen one of those birds for years. Nice capture.

Great shot, I think the one bud in focus adds a lot, ties the background in, with that and the blue sky you get that whole beutifull Spring day feeling along with a very sharp capture of the bird.

wow, great capture
what a gorgeous bird
i also like the bud in focus
i dunno if it's just me or if the birds head looks a little unsharp?
otherwise, incredible

Thanks for the replies!

woojiebear I softened his head with a surface blur, now that you mention I think I might fade it slighty towards the top. To me that looks like the most blurred spot?
