Bonjour Paul
Ce petit oiseau est vraiment mignon, et j'aime beaucoup sa pose sur sa branche ! Les détails, les couleurs et la composition sont magnifiques, de même que le point de vue.
Félicitations et au revoir...JP

Hello Paul,
I think the pose and POV you caught here is both amusing and unusual. But I also wonder if this juvenile has a bit of partial albinism as even juveniles don't have so much white in their plumage.
I have never seen one like this before. Fine presentation with great sharpness and composition.
Well done and TFS!
