Shot through the kitchen double glazing, not enough light, so had to use ISO 800 so they're a bit noisy.

Nice work John, and not at all noisy at this resolution. If I were being critical I'd suggest maybe 1/3rd stop less exposure - some of the highlights are a little crushed - but no evidence of the window!

John, they all look much better in my view - the "crush" has gone giving a more natural look. And they're all great images!

Excellent shots, I love wildlife. The one where the squirrel   has it's paw over its eye is funny, 'don't take a photo of me ' Lol. I have a starling photo at a feeder with it's wings 'caught  beating' .I'll see if I can dig it out. It was from April when we had snow.
