| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
| I was walking in my local park and heard a very unfamiliar bird call, so I hunted for it in the bush, and came across this guy. I had no idea what it was, but my brother who is somewhat of a bird guru was able to identify it as a Grey Catbird. The branches in front are a bit of a distraction, it was the best I could do in the thick bush. |

Yeah, the blurry green leaves in the foreground are a little distracting - I might have cropped more of the left side off, thus getting rid of some of that.
Otherwise, very nice. Was it taken in the evening? Very nice light. You caught him at an opportune time, in the middle of his song.

Hi Dave,
Wonderful warm light... And you perfectly caught the bird while singing... And yes, the branches at the front are not that nice, but as you say, you did your best in those conditions... TFS, Marta
