Fred on his own
He's actually in the same perch in my trees as I type this; he shows up every day now.

The usual through the double glazing and poor light, although I managed ISO 400 this time. Reflection on the glass has softened/lightened the breast a bit

LOL! His feathers keep getting wilder and wilder, poking out every which-way. Yet he seems to know he's handsome, no matter how "unkempt"
