Usually these birds and long and thin but this one was really cold and all fluffed up. I acually recognise it until someone told me on facebook

Does give it a very different body shape. Love the shot, can almost feel him shivering.

This made me shiver when I quickly looked at it yesterday, perhaps tighten the crop on the L/hand side and bottom a little so it gives a sense of direction to where the bird is looking.??
