Still in full breeding colours

like most of them. It is difficult to get a real clear shot sometimes as the reeds are moving in the wind.

I think this is remarkably clear and I like the composition through the reeds.

[Paul J]

You did well with the focus. That leaf must have made focusing on the bird difficult.

So very beautiful!

Beautiful bird and details.

Beautiful bird

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It's still a good shot because it shows the environment. I have that problem with bushes around here. The birds like to hide in them.

[Heather]

Such a pretty bird capture with those fabulous colours and textures! Fav
