[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Today an upload made a couple of weeks ago in our garde,we saw regularly a couple of redstarts in our garden,unfortunately they are hard to approach an this is one of my better ones,it is made from a distance of about 6 meters and fairly cropped,it is made in our garden,while the male redstart was sitting on a washing line,hope you like it and tfw

the redstarts are still around us but the dense vegetation makes it at the moment almost impossible to photograph them.

Hi Paul.
Nice techno-wild shot of the cute bird, which is not widespread in our region I think. Image of the bird is blameless. I like crisp sharpness and perfect colours. Absolutely smooth BG is looked very well too. It is clear technical construction is reproduced excellently too : ))). Shot is composed perfectly. Well done and kind regards.
Alexei.

Hello Paul,
This is such a little beauty very well captured on the washing line(?) We had one nesting in the garden a couple of years ago and I got a really nice shot of the female with grubs in her beak but she was surrounded by clothes pegs!! Anyway they're a treat to look at and I like the pose of this one and the sharp details and colours stand out beautifully against the pleasant background.
TFS and cheers, Ulla

Hello Paul
This is a fine capture..I have never seen a Redstart and this is a fine view of him.
I have been out today trying to photograph birds by walking the hedgrows but as you say they all seem to loke the cover of the vegetation!!
Many thanks for your advise in the forum.
Best Regards
Paul

Hallo Paul,
Mooie opname. Ik heb ik hem slechts een maal in mijn tuin gezien. Waarschijnlijk verdwaald. De kleuren harmoniëren erg mooi met de achtergrond. Erg goede scherpte. Prachtige compositie.
Groet,
Peter

Hello Paul,
A very sharp and perfectly timed shot of this cute bird, Art!I find it so beautiful and it looks almost sad...
Very well done!
Regards Siggi

these small birds are extremely difficult to photograph. you have done a great job here. the bird is resting on one leg! TFS!

Hi Paul
