This version is different than originally posted, had to crop quite a bit to meet the size limit.

It would have been nice to have that bird closer to a third but I'm guessing you would have lost the "busy" part of the image in the process. -COAmature

He he. Thanks for the comment, CJ.

This is busy enough for me aam! I like the dove checking out his escape route from your picy. :-) CJ

Thanks Rod, Tom, and Brent, glad you like it. Penny, thanks for the comment and cheers for the approval, I wasn't sure it was busy enough for the topic.

Cheers, guys.

Well done Aam, I like the subtle texture on the wall you have captured too. We call these birds morning doves in the states- pretty birds but about as dumb as they come.

yes it's a busy bush and I love the little birdie intrusion.

Excellent take on the topic - balancing a normally idiomatic subject (the bird that is) against the busy bush. Well done. -tv

I know us blokes are way too organised in our minds to take a busy picy but do wot I do & pretend you're a girl then wiv your new scrambled mind the busy picys will come. You don't have to dress in girls clothes like I do though:-)

Cheers mate. This is the "busiest" I can do, and it's already too much for me.

Nicely done Aamm mate, that looks like a pigeon we get down here we call it a dove. I think it would have looked a bit more busy if you could have leaves & stuff where the wall is. Nice exposure too,....................................Oopps forgot, good WB:-)
