It's a cracking image John! Now I'm no twitcher, but I have these in the garden from time to time and I had assumed they were yellowhammers - just looked up my book again and found a Yellow - breasted bunting, which looks different?

now that is very nice John. In the few times I've photographed these I've never managed to get them clear of background foliage.
