Big crop. not my best but...a Cirl bunting
At least I think it is .
:mad: Very large crop but shall go back and try again. Went out with camera club people and they wanted to go home, just when we found a place where there were quite a few of these.
Had great difficulty with the sky and bird's colours, probably over saturated everyting too much.
Please confirm it is what I think it is!!!

Well captured Paula in getting the Male Cirl Bunting just a pity it is not sharp.

Great bird to get Paula :toast:

I usually do a print of my extreme crops, as fate then usually takes a hand, and a fullish frame opportunity often arrives shortly afterwards..............therefore making me waste paper and ink on the crop. Always seems a good deal to me :smile:

Hope you get another chance at this chap :toast: :toast:

Hi Paula,

Good record shot, but I'm sure you will go back and get better.

Hi Paula,

It's a real pity that it is not sharp, but still a good shot. And good luck next time!
