No need to apologise Jp... especially with a bird that's difficult to find anyway, seemingly!! We take what we're given!!

A superb focusing job you've done my friend, in very tricky conditions!! Many thanks for showing us this malkoha, the first image to arrive for two years!
 
Wonderful focusing through the twigs, JP, and a lovely capture of this difficult bird.
