Corn bunting

This bird looked a bit thin for a corn bunting, but by process of elimination, that is what it is. Taken yesterday in a high wind, which forced me up to 400 iso despite the strong sunlight.

Nikon D200, 600mm Nikkor, 1/750th @f5.0

Thanks for looking.

David

Looks about right to me David maybe a teeny bit too far to the right but no big deal. These have virtually gone from around here.

A very nice study. It appears to have a quizzical expression. IMO.

No nits here David. I really like the muted background which has just enough definition to give an imression of the habitat.

Did well to get this in strong winds at f5. Looks pretty nice overall with a good background.
