Post your Bird Portraits (2)

We can't really go anywhere at the moment where I live because of Covid restrictions, but I decided to go on safari... in my garden. With my old 80D (almost forgotten as it lay in its case) and the 100-400. Here were a few of the results. Nothing exotic, but then, I do live on the edge of a city.

"The easiest way to improve your photos is to adjust the loose nut between the shutter release and the ground."

The ugly Duckling....came across this fledgling just waiting on a tree branch, I think it's a Chipping Sparrow based on the adults near by.
