This is a good capture. The tree serves to focus attention on the bird and the semi-open mouth and the way it looks around shows life. Well framed, sharp and well exposed.

Hi Chi!

This is a very nice picture. Focus is sharp and exposure is great. Nice composition with a blured BG. I would have proposed a WS without the white marks the bird is standing on but WS are not allowed.
Excellent work and TFS.

Very nice capture of this Starling, the all ambient lighting is pleasing throughout your image. :)

Chi, this is an excellent Picture. Great colours, excellent sharpness and great POV. A very nice composition. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

Perfect, can't find any nit either. He seems to frown and talk to somebody in no uncertain terms .. this creates extra impact. Good shot!
