Hi All,

Been a while since I posted !! My Photography was put on the back burner for a good while, but a recent trip to Mull has ignited the flame again.
Since coming back have set myself projects for small Farmland birds and Buzzards. This was taken at my site that still has a very good population of small birds including Corn Bunting. In fact a bramble patch on site last week had Corn Bunting, Goldfinch, Yellowhammer, Linnet, Reed Bunting and Chaffinch, so over the coming weeks I hope to get some nice shots of these.
Going to sort out some perches this week, feeling a bit ring rusty and slowly getting back into it !!

All comments welcome

Regards

Rob

Hi Rob.
Good to see you back and it sounds like a good spot you have got with a nice mixture of birds.
I like the image and the stuff its on,is it sedum?the bird looks good but i can't make out what it is at the top of the wing is it some type of deformity? or these old eyes of mine.

Hi Rob, nice to see you back again & glad Mull rekindled the bug :smiley:.

Looking at the image, i think you've managed to get the file upload bits muddled up when you've done the post - there's two places on the posting form that you can 'choose file' and upload images - I think you've only used the lower one (which is were you can upload the optional 'big' image). If you're only uploading a single 'small' image, then you need to pick the first 'choose file' box.

You'll soon get back into the swing of things :wavey:
