Excuse Me!, Did you ask before you took that ?
Love the direct look of this one, its a Hedge Accentor, or Dunnock, often called a Hedge Sparrow but a totally different family
F8, 1/250th, iso 200, Nikon d5200 - tamron 70-300 @300mm

C & C welcome as always

Thanks Donna, its one af a few but the 'look' really made it stand out - the bird is normally one that skulks in the undergrowth so to get it in the open was a great opportunity for a portrait

Perfect title and great composition. I like its egg shape and its stern looking body language. Great shot.

Thanks Graham, it is decidedly a confrontational look - especially for this bird
Cheers Eric, just had to be that to go with the 'look' 
Thanks John, I am pleased with it

Have just been viewing it at full size in the lightbox. It would take a much tighter crop if you wanted to get in closer on the bird and make that 'attitude' even more pronounced.

Very nice composition Mark. I wonder if it is possible to darken the darks in the eyes a bit to make them stand out more ? My eyes go to its tummy slightly because of the different shooting angle.

You should have positioned its two legs a little bit up its body so that s/he doesn't have a leg to stand on...j/k...
(got the joke?) Very good capture....

Well captured Mark, there's some attitude there.
