Reed Bunting
I thought it was nice how just a perch can convey a feeling of a season so quickly. Dead Hogweed stems seem to just do that.

Hi John
Nice one, I really like the pose and the inclusion of the hog weed, the semi pano crop works well.

The pano crop and setting works well. Only nit is the small bit of hogweed being so close to the bird's head which draws the eye a little.

Thanks everyone.
It stops "as is" I think.
My only worry was making sure it was Hogweed !!
