Nice eye contact and perch. Its good you got it with a berry in the beak. The vertical composition looks nice. The habitat displayed is nice. Thanks for sharing.

Good to see one with berries. How come a top down shooting position.

Cheers,

This was shot on a hillock.I was at a slightly elevated postion . I guess the crop has also added to this.
