A common bird, perhaps too common, in our garden, but I thought it looked good getting one of its five a day. I'm not sure the neighbours would be that happy - it is their tree.

It's a nice shot that well done!
If you have photoshop or similar you could smooth out that out of focus background behind the bird a bit with the blur brush. It's surprising how much a photo can be lifted by a bit of attention to the background.
Love that composition and the fruit adds to it very well!

Thanks for the comments Oy.
Worked on the background with GIMP. It does look better, thanks.

A very nice picture Tringa, beautiful natural light, and I like the way hes eying up those juicy cherries.
