This is a Blue Tit that has been gentically modified to look like a Robin, so no comments like "not another bl**dy robin" please. this is an extremely rare bird and I expect people to have respect for this capture.
Taken this afternoon on my favourite twig, while the sun was shining, had to blur the background because the sky was extremely bright through the foliage and very distracting.

Oh no! Not another bl**dy Parrot.
Sorry Mo, but you were begging for it when you asked us not to say 'Oh not another...'

Now for the serious stuff. I think this is a great capture......sorry shot.......sorry photograph.
The detail in the feathers is quite something, well done.

Thanks for your recent comments on my stress shots. I did try some water in one of the plastic cuvettes('more stress')as you suggested, it did seem to make a slight difference, but I was frightened I spilled water on my light box. I am putting a fuller explanation of how I do it on my next upload.
