Corn Bunting
Taken locally where the population is still very high - this individual was so busy singing that I was able to get so close in my car that it was too big in the frame.

Just goes to re-confirm that the b/ground is as important as the subject.

oh yeah!!!! Composed superbly David. I would never have thought this could have been composed in portrait without being slightly tight. Just shows how wrong i am. Perfect for me :toast:

Absolutely superb image and comp, and that BG is stunning :toast: :toast:
