Oh my oh my... My favourite red orange plumage ... Am I rhyming all of a sudden? What's the name of this sparrer, Richie, if you don't mind my asking? SAM & SAAB Joking - I know perfectly well that this is blue tit, isn't it?

Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way.
Spectacular shot Rich!!! The bird's colors are beautiful and the detail in feathers are outstanding!!! The bird captured a delicious bite and you, Rich, captured an extraordinary photo of the bird. Excellent!!!:-):-):-)!!!
There's no accounting for some 'peoples' taste in food but that aside what a fabulous shot...marvellous closeup and detail, rich warm colors, and that brown background the perfect finishing touch...faved.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Incredible capture! Details, clarity, composition are tremendous. I kind of feel sorry for the hoverfly, but he is providing nourishment for a spendid bird. You must have a lot of patience in capturing these scenes.
