Hi Guys,

Weather over here is looking better towards the weekend so and today we have had our first rays of sunlight since ages, so i went out for an hour or so to visit one of my favourite places for shooting birds. I heard a Reed Bunting wich are not quite common at this place and when i looked out my car window there he was in the field on top of this red plant.

I took quite a large series and hoped to get a bit closer, but unfortunately he stayed quite far.

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel
