Seasonal companion

I was out this morning and this chap came to keep me company. Any closer and I think he would have been in the lens hood!

Thanks Paul - I agree about the twig, but I didn't dare to try and move it as the fellah would have flown away (as he did anyway a couple of seconds after this). Although I couldn't believe my luck to get so close...
