The rooftops beyond helped create a nice BG.

Don't you have turf covered roofs in your neck'o the woods ?

Just noticed those with really bright monitor.....you don't miss nothing!:D
Well, I think it's more to do with having been in similar situations than anything else ... ie trying to get a half decent shot of a fairly small subject in an urban environment - with a rubbish background to contend with.
It became apparent very quickly that I'd never get a decent (full body) shot with the setup linked below because of the totally naff perch attached to the box. (box was made when I was mainly interested in macro - so few, if any thoughts about bird pix)
Houses behind, white pvc framed windows etc etc ... in the end I pulled down a branch on a tree with a bit of rope, to help obscure / break up said junk.
The human eye is very good at finding patterns - nowt special about my (old) pair
Importance of bg with w/life shots is just too important to overlook / ignore (imo).

PP, there are NO good backgrounds around my house. It's an urban nightmare!
