9P1A3595 Black Redstart (juvenile), Phoenicurus ochruros, Manchester city centre
Zeus (Jupiter or Jove, Roman equiv't)

Another image of black redstart perched in a gutter or rather on a stalk or flower that lies in the gutter. I distinctly remember making this image because the scene reminded me of Zeus (Greek mythological god) the Lord of the skies who was prone to throwing thunderbolts at anyone who displeased him. When I took the picture I begged for it to come out sharp and I was so pleased it did. I think the only thing that displeased this young bird was the smell of stale piss in the road and gutter... I am sure some folk thought I was wearing some kind of punk aftershave:-)
