Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments. It's great to know you enjoy viewing as much as I did taking it.

Paul and Chris..I did manage to get it sitting 'face on' on the branch too, but felt it didn't show her colours off as well as this.

Best wishes to you all for 2009.

Hi Steve (stevezoop),

Nice and sharp and great light.

I saw one of these myself this morning but it was way up in a tree and there was no way I could have got a shot like this!

I'm lucky enough to have two pairs who visit my garden feeders - they never sit out in the open like this!! A well timed and beautifully clear image!

A cracking capture Fran - nicely set up for a good b/ground too.
Only seen one this winter on a feeder at a little wood I visit.
Lucky you to have it in the garden.Smile
