- This is a beautifully shot bird, but the branch is a little obtrusive. Is there an alternative shot? I'm leaning support, but would like to promote the best image we have of the little guy. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.4% of all FPs 20:12, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
- He's a big guy actually. I like this one as it shows the dark blue wing feathers. The whole of the bird is in focus - the other FPs are more head on and recent voters on Commons had the opportunity to compare this one with them to see if it matched up.
