Dear Nicholas!

There's nothing bad about using pictures from the archive! Sometimes, we discover some pearls there! Your picture is very pleasant, and your style is easy to recognize: a perfect composition, a finely blurred background and superb details in the bird's feathers.

Many thanks and kind regards

Markus

Hello Nick,
Another nice onr from your archives: this time a fine capture of a Coal Tit in a fine pose with the beak open and taken from a great POV with your usual high quality showing the features of this species. The British Coal Tits have a browner tone compared to the Scandinavian that are more grey.
Thanks and have a good week,
Ivan
