Its a very decent result Mark,

Shows its usual habitat nicely, and a singing bird is always a bonus :toast:

Hi Mark,

Fantastic capture! I love the environment and composition! Nice singing pose! A touch more catchlight in the eye would have made this a killer IMO! Look forward to seeing more!

Hi Mark,
Nice shot indeed. I suppose this was right outside your workplace as well wasn't it? great to catch it singing too.

Hi Eric , yes it was down in the Marsh wetland area. 10 mins from my office. there were also some reed buntings , so I might see if i can grab a photo of these tomorrow too.

Actually if your interested one Saturday morning, early you should be able to come onsite with me to do some photos.

Cheers
Mark

Very nice shot, I really like the strong vertical element.

I like the composition. Know how hard it is to get these looking good in the wind - it never seems to stop here! :smile:
