Hedge Cuddy
Dunnock
Used to call these "cuddys" when I was a kid.
Taken in the weak evening sunlight tonight from the lawn hide. Not been able to do any pools stuff lately as there's water everywhere.
D200 Sigma 50-500mm.

500ISO
250th at f10
Contrast in camera down
Cheers

Lovely cuddy mr. R. :wavey: Most of the time they are feeding on the ground so not easy to take a good shot. You did very well.

As Ed says John - you've done well to get one elevated :biggrin: Nice enviro :toast:

If you've had the rain we've just had here you'll have even more water all over the place :eek: :eek:

Very nice for a busy BG John. Hard to isolate but always see them perched perfectly when my camera is in the bag :rolleyes:

Thanks all.
At least before the leaves break it gives a bit of space with a messy backdrop I suppose.

I can imaging its hard to get this bird away from the hedges, but thats where it lives so thats fine as far as I am concerned. A nice shot John.

I agree with Andy and David this is a great example of a enviro shot reflecting an accurate setting for the species just MHO.
