Brambling - my garden Eccleston

I finally managed a half decent photo today of the brambling that have been visiting my garden for the past few weeks.

I took this by setting up my camera on a tripod focussed on a branch that the brambling has often been perching on. I've got a radio controlled remote shutter so can fire the shutter from my house when the brambling eventually landed in the right place. I'd like to get one in full sunlight but I think that might be asking too much!
