Reed Bunting-Emberiza schoeniclus
Hi Guys,

Have not had a lot of time to go out or post recently as i have been working very hard on my own Dutch naturephotography forum-website.

Yesterday however i took the day off as i had fellow UKNP member Paul Ashton over for a visit as he was in Holland for business and we went out to look for Long Eared Owls, Buethroats and other stuff. We had chosen a bad day as the weather was awfull thus spoiling most of our chances..
We did see the LEO's and the Bluethroat but getting them in front of the lens was a whole other story due to the rain..

Nevertheless Paul and i had a lot of fun and we did manage to get some interesting shots at the end of the day..

Here's one of them of a Reed Bunting..

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel

Nice image, Jeroen - the lacking light actually gives some nice feather-detail here. :wavey:

Lovely shot Jeroen. Simple composition and tones make this a restful image. One for the wall. Next time you do the driving!
Thanks for a very enjoyable day.
