Corn Bunting
Canon EOS 7D, 600mm f4 IS, 1.4x convertor, ISO 400, f5.6, RAW, CS2, bean bag on car window ledge.

Hi All,

Found a new site with a good population of Corn Buntings, Also about 7 pairs of Yellow Wagtails there at the moment (including the Channel Wagtail from my previous post).
I love Corn Buntings, they are obliging little birds and have such a beautiful little song, I feel privilidged to have such a good population very close by.

I was in two minds whether to clone out the cobwebs from around the feet area, but, decided to leave them in ?

All comments welcome

Regards

Rob

Hi John,

From memory 1/2000, the Sun came out for a min or 2 while he was there, if I had my wits about me, I could have dropped the ISO, but I didnt !! :rolleyes:

Regards

Rob

ISO400 is fine on the 7D in good light and to be honest with equiv of 1300mm you needed it ;) Nice shot too, cobwebs work for me.
