Had another morning crawling through the thickening undergrowth and came across a couple of these. It's getting hard to isolate them from the clutter now, but was pleased with this as an alternative to the bullfinches that failed to put in an appearence (again ..).

Well you've isolated it pretty well, not easy on a hawthorn hedge Dave - good job :toast:

Get rid of the errant leaf sticking into the right frame edge just behind the birds tail :wink:

Lovely and sharp despite the clutter, had similar frustrations with some bullfinches recently! :smile:
