This bird is a usual fare here and elsewhere, however, I seldom shoot them......here are a couple of rare shots I have of the RWBB.......unprocessed JPGs.

I like #2 alot pops , you got him with a good pose a killer BG and a fairly nice perch , a small nit would be that its a tad hot to the right of the bird but that's the rocks fault not yours lol :)

good job on the attacking RWBB but your exposure was off on the first two (the blown highlights are really distracting..)
