This is a beauty Peter. Nicely done with a lovely setting and an almost innocent look.

A great find and image, Peter. Usually a very active species from my observations, and can be challenging to photograph, so a special photograph for you in your Province !

You really made the most of your rare opportunity, Peter! What a beautiful image of this little fluffball and you did well to get such a clean shot as it searches for insects among the branches.

Great timing, Peter. Not only to find the bird, but to capture the millisecond when one of the buggers sits still - and even posed!

Great angle, details and eye contact, Peter. The bird looks as if he is considering flying south.
