Perhaps black and white gives us an opportunity to look at details less obvious than the usual? I love the scritchy little claws and the detail of the feathers on the breast - and the perky little topknot.
I agree with you about birds and colour, Peter. But Annie- Sue makes a good point. You have a lovely capture here, regardless. I love how your little bird is framed by the branches and how, with your pov, we can see the details of its breast feathers so clearly! Fav
