Canon EOS 1Ds MKII, 600mm f4 IS, 1.4x conv, f8, 1/250, ISO 320, BB on car window ledge.
Hi All,
I was up and out and first light this morning, first time I have been out for ages, due to one thing or another.
There were about 30-40 Corn Bunts perched up as the Sun crept above the horizon, bet they were pleased to sit in the sun and get warmed up a bit, it was bitterly cold.
Also knocking about were the pair of Stonechats a few Yellowhammers and Goldcrests and about 20,000 Woodpigeons
All comments welcome
Regards
Rob

Hi Rob
You have captured this very well, I like the light, the uncluttered background and the pose, looking out across the frame, excellent !
Spot on Rob. Lovely bird, light, background and perch and composition plus pose are all top notch.

1st class Rob, a beautiful bird and an image to match.

Great photo Charlie
No seriously Rob this is without a doubt the best god damm corn bunting shot I have ever seen, you have really improved your photography over this past year and produced some great shots but I think this is up there with your best.
Told you I would give you good critique now you look like Charles Manson

Really nice Rob, head turn is just right for the composition

An alround excellent image. Detail, composition, and the colour range could'nt be better.
