The image is lacking a little in contrast, were you shooting through a window?
Yes, it is a tiny bit flat, but is probably sortable and, if so, will become a very good picture.
Lovely capture Tom and a nice bg to go with it
Lovely image Tom, it would have been nice if had turned it's head a little moor to get the glint in it's eye.
We had several blackbirds in my garden earlier in the year, but sadly they are infrequent visitors now.
