Now there's a sky to die for! Nice simple and clean composition. Initially I wasn't keen on the perch, but I do actually like it now.

Nice shot indeed. Plenty of detail and the colours in the perch look like they were just made for the Meadow Pipit. :wavey: :jump:

very nice Andy, the perch is interesting and the blue sky sets the bird off nicely.

Good details Andy and I'm glad you decided to post with that perch because it's often how we see them and in itself actually has some interest. Pulled together nicely.

Good work.

Thanks for the nice words everyone, cheers :toast:

Phil, the perch is the top of a fence post, one of the old disused one's that run along the coastal path at Bempton.
