This little guy crashes my home's window, I picked him up and gave him some sugared water for him to recover and then left him on a branch to take off as he feel it was the right moment, of course I didn't loos my chance chance to get a shot and the macro sounded like a great idea to me.

Thanks for the story, Jeff. I like this one a lot. Like the diagonal perspective.

Hi

A nice way to help nature and get your photo!

Happened to me a while back, but my subject was a good old sparrow, nothing quite as fancy as this fellow lol

A seriously fine shot too, nice to see

All the best
Matthew

Thanks so much Swissblad, I agree with you, the windows are bad, I just put some silhouette on them and they have stopped crashing in it... Have a great Sunday my friend!!!

So good to hear you were able to help this tiny bird to recover Jeff, and what a great intimate view!
