Outstanding 'catch of the day'. I'm not a 'twitcher' expert but this looks like a competition/magazine entry...

Cracking pic - might it be a stickleback rather than a perch?

Gorgeous. I like the pin sharp capture, the beautiful colours, the composition and the perfectly round shape of the bokeh.

Fantastic capture Tom, 600mm, that's some glass you've got and you use it expertly
