Goldfinch - At last !! (edited version)

[RobC]

As the light faded this chap decided to pay me a visit. I've been trying daily for a half decent shot of this fella, but he's so jumpy !!

Anyway, here he is:

Taken with my f4 70-200mm L USM non-is.

1/400 @f4 iso 1250


Thanks for looking and any pointers (technical or composition) gratefully accepted.
(Is it me or is his head a little soft?)

Love it, just find the white patch top RH corner keeps drawing my eye away.

Thanks Peter, I really must pay more attention to the 'little' details. To be onest I was so happy with a half decent shot .......

I'm surprised Brian, I put the feeder up at the beginning of the week, only as a treat, up until then he'd been noshing on ordinary bird seed apparently whenever he felt like it. I've got his timetable now though, Breakfast is about 06:00-06:30 and tea is about 19:30.
