Great details and good eye contact .Nice capture.The birds are extremely shy and flighty.

Lovely eye contact. Nice head turn. I liked the composition. Good you could get this shy bird in the clear. Thanks for sharing.

ya i was lucky to get this bird...photographed it through a hole in my roof wall...

Nice Details and lovely eye contact. Would be interesting to know the shutter speed.

A slightly lower angle would have helped get the background branch out of the frame making the BG clean and enhancing this nice image further. But then, there is little you can do when shooting through a hole . . . .

thanks for sharing
