This tree is alive with sparrows and waxeyes at this time of year. They work hard at the ripe apples, reducing then to thin, eaten out shells before they drop to the ground. This is a female, but not sure if it's house or hedge.
There was quite bright back-light in this that detracted from the subject, so I selected the sparrow and apple, inverted the selection and reduced the brightness of the background. There was also quite a bit of noise as I had to shoot at ISO 400, and a de-noise was also applied to the background.
