Lovely shot in great light, Steve. That background really complements the bird's colouring

Stunning photo with soft colours all round.

The barbed wire and out of focus grass distract from an otherwise perfect shot. I'm not one for much photoshopping but maybe here a bit of cropping/cloning at the bottom could easily tidy it out.

Neither , completely wild and free , just happened to be in the right place at the right time , standing against a hedgerow when the bird alighted on the fence post.

My PP skills are very limited and I much prefer to leave the shots as they were taken and try and get as much right in camera as possible . I can just about master the basic adjustments and that is as much as I can do.
