PLAY March - Fuji 60mm f/2.4: Way too Bold!

I've posted many pictures on my project of the cheeky Blue Tits who dive down to the bottom of the feeders to grab whole peanuts - here's a good example: https://365project.org/vignouse/365/2017-01-06 The other birds are too big but that doesn't stop the more aggressive from trying - especially the Greenfinches. Mrs S spotted this one wedged solid upside down in the feeder with his legs and wing feathers sticking through the mesh. When I finally freed him he dashed forward, which was the wrong way as he ended up in the bottom of the feeder.

I finally extricated him and put him on the wall to recuperate, bur he was in a bit of a state as you can see here... he disappeared later and I just hope that he will recover enough to feed and look after himself.

This is for my PLAY project - you can read more about it in my profile - where I'll be using a different prime lens for each month of the year: for March it's the Fujinon 60mm f/2.4 Macro on an APS-C sensor camera (today the Fuji XT2) - the equivalent of a 90mm lens on a full-frame camera.
Fantastic shot and detail

So nice, and kind. I once sat with one in my hand for an hour, he seemed dazed, I thought he was a goner. But then he suddenly flew off. Wonderful.

Monkey see - monkey do is not always a good thing. Hopefully if it survived it learned a lesson about the feeder.

He just doesn't look all that grateful for the rescue.

Very curious bird.

He does look somewhat disheveled. Delighted though that he recovered enough to get himself out of harm's way.

What did your cat think about the whole thing?

He does look the worse for wear, but seems he had a narrow escape! Nice image.

The expression gives no hint of gratitude! I like all that ruffled feathery detail
