Fantastic looking bird, a great image. Looks a bit soft in the head, probably moved during the exposure as the feet appear sharp.

This is a really excellent shot. Bilbuls have a reputation as being some of the dullest birds in the world, but this shows they have aload of character...

The raised crest and the red ringed eyes make this one for me, George!

yes, a very common "dull" bird but you made this one spark! agree on the focus being a tad soft on the head;

Lovely portrait George. He looks especially good with this BG. Only nit is the slight softness.

Awesome bird and shot - a little selective sharpening around the head would make it even better.

Beautiful bird and great BG. I would prefer a little more room at the top and a little less at the bottom
