  Great detail in the feathers on its back. Is that a stinging nettle it landed on?

  Yeah, darn thistles. ;-)
  It's definitely nice, that's for sure :)
  Some sort of thistle I think.
  They're very cool (not to mention small and quick).

  Incredible contrast you've got in this pic.
• David de Groot said:
  Thanks Andrew, they're definitely not camouflaged in this environment ;-)

  Thistle flowers are good to photograph :D
• David de Groot said:
  Ok, I'll pay that, but the plant is usually quite ugly.
• -Gadabout- said:
  pay that? translation required! :) That must be Cedar Creek speak !!!
  Don't know about that - it's green and I like green and I like thistle flowers :D I've seen thistles growing in the gardens of a castle in Scotland - they had their own section of the flower bed - I really liked it :D

  'tis old slang from somewhere (too long ago for me to remember) - I thought it was fairly common.
  Lots of things are green though - thistle plants are well, prickly, or in the case of this variety, not very attractive (as plants go). Still if it means the wrens visit, I can put up with them :)

  I never heard it before!
  Ya, wrens are awesome :D

  Aye, they're very pretty birds. This one is fairly heavily cropped in post as I took it from the veranda.
