A lot of the crops around me are yellow rape and this bird was taken with a bg of 2nd year kale a cover strip for gams birds so most of what i take there are against this bg ,i think the Yellow Hammer fits but please let me know what you think.

C&C please.

Nice one Kieth. Bit tight at the bottom but no big deal.
Maybe try an upright crop ?
Not too bad for a one eyed pensioner :biggrin: :smile:

Very nice indeed and a lovely, complimentary BG. Maybe a tad more space as mentioned.
