It's a little beauty Paul. Since you ask for crits and comments, I have two tiny observations.
I'm not sure of the crop, it feels slightly awkward to me. Although the space in the top left quarter gives a nice impression of the open nature of the terrain and the diminutive size of the bird, so I'm probably talking cr*p come to think of it. And a really, really picky point, does it need a little coping?
Actually I love it, especially the light and the bird's posture, and any man who can spend an age paying attention to the details of textures on bits of old fencepost is a man after my own heart!

Paul you know I'm a fan but to me it just lacks that soft fluffy feel of the bird and I've seen quite a few of them.

Fine work Paul - I noticed this had been elevated onto your (excellent) website.
