Now that is a very pretty bird! Well done. The Moss always makes the image nicer IMHO. :)

I love these little birds and you captured them wonderfully. For some reason I always have issues shooting these birds and mine never look as cute when I load the pictures as they did in the yard. I think the issue is exposing that black and white face.

I like 'em both Rex. They aren't seen around here and somehow look a bit more upper-class than my black-capped models ;). You got a gorgeous setting for them too!

Thanks, all, very much.
Grizz, I like moss and lichen, too.
Talloulou, I don't always hit correct on the black and white. Non harsh light helps.
Ian, They may look upper class to you, but, really, they're just regular people, I mean birds.

Very pretty little birds, I haven't seen that variety before either. Good BG colours too.
