A reed bunting on the same branch.

Thanks for looking

couple of very nice clear shots. Don't know what the white spot is in the dove pic but it distracts.
I see the reed bunting has been ringed, beautiful little bird and very well taken.

Two nice shots Ant No we dont see many Doves on here which is a shame :shake: And if you think I am going to get me cloning brush out for one spot then think again

Two nice clear shots


Brian the white dots are rain drops on the leaves reflecting the sunlight, they are actually Airy Discs, a phenomenon used in star testing astronomy scopes, if you look at my 2nd photo HERE you will see they are actually concentric circles, being nice and round is a sign of well collimated optics.

Thank you Brian

Would you believe I had'nt even noticed the white spot, I'll have a go at cloning it out in a minute.

Cheers Rich
I would have cloned it out if I'd spotted it, must have been late when I was working on it

The weather looks a bit better this way for the weekend, so I think I'll go there again.
