Description
Another visitor to my feeder, this one is an immature Nutmeg Mannikin. Immatures are light brown with buffy underparts. This guy was all puffed up and begging to be shot, so here he is.
Thanks so much for your valuable comments to this bird series, I hope to post more as the birds continue to visit..Aloha to All!

Beautifully captured my friend!!! he even has some food on his beak, that means you're giving them what they like!!!!! Excellent image Dave!!!!******
Good observation, nongo. What can I say. You put out the feed, and the will come. Beautiful capture, Dave. Keep them coming. Aloha
Superb capture, Dave!!!!! oh man...what a pleasure to look at this little puffed-up cutie!!! incredible detail and lighting, and DOF is what i only dream of. :) Such an impressive capture!!!!!!!!!!!! A+++++++++++++
Perfectly perched....o0o that's hard to say... I mean the position on branch ,how the bird seperates it stands out to me. Nice depth of field.
Awww ... I really love bird pictures for some reason, and this shot, this bird, they're beautiful! sniff
Bird looks very content. Excellent shot. Aloha
Wintertime is coming, so we're collecting food for the hundreds of birds visiting our garden these months(in spite of the cats). Never managed in such a perfect shot as this one is.
incredibly cute!!! this portrait is fantastic! beautiful pose and perfect background... the line of the tree balance all!
I love your work and this is no exception-has a very seasonal feel to it! Robyn:)
I am beginning to envy you! If I put out a bird feeder where I live, I will probably only get crows!! This is a beautiful picture. The bird is so proud and looks quite content. What a great shot!
I AM COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY JAW ON THE FLOOR HOW ARE YOU NAILING THESE EVERYDAY!!! GOD I WOULD DIE FOR A SHOT LIKE THIS cannot say enought about it its brilliant one of my favorite from your bird series !!! GORGEOUS! V!!!!
SMAAAAAAACK BOFF BANG WHIP SLAP...No, its not an old episode of "Batman and Robin" but its me slapping you!!! All your birdshots have been "WOW" But this takes the prize. This gets an "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW" even. Amazing capture buddy!!! Such perfect DOF, and such fantastic crispness. You should really sell these to the "birdie-book-publishing" companies. Have a wonderful day!!!! #:O)
What a wonderful shot David ! so pure and well shooted. The background is really cool and enhance this beautiful fella! thanks for sharing, G.
I cant get over how popular that branch is!!.....seems every bird in your area is visiting you for the best picture show! LOL......Excellent as ever, well done. Aloha!
As nice as the others of this superb series. An advice: if you don't have a long depth of field, take care to have to focus right on the eye (rather than on a branch or any other secondary subject). Superb anyway !
A lovely series
splendid! soft but detailed, a pleasure to see =)
Looking fine and detailed ;]
Great capture. Such a cute little bird all puffed up. Thanks for your bird series. I love seeing them.

Perfectionism and professionalism ..outstanding dave.. oh its so sweet its little face.. brillaint :)...:)))
As an avid birder, I salute you! I love birding, but never get any good shots, cuz my patience is way too short! I can see yours pays off! More please! :)

Can I have this in a frame? A big one?
LOL Andreas gets so dramatic LOL dont 'cha just love it!!!! LOL But he's right.. this one gets the prize... its beautiful. I'd love to know your setup there... funny how we have 20 acres of wooded land here, but not enough trees close to the house to hang feeders... I'll have to get creative I think.. gorgeous shot.. love your bird phorography!
Lovely capture of this little bird posing here for you so well! Love the green background and the crisp bird in this DOF, and the compo! Excellent work! :)
