Female Yellow Bunting

[BRASH]

Another failed attempt to get a Bullfinch but got these instead. Again I had great difficulty getting a clear shot through the branches and twigs.

Twigs seem to be the bain of a lot of people lately Brian good captures though. Not sure if they all came out near enough the same, or you edited them slightly differently, but the lighting looks best on the bird in #3 Do you get these around your pad or are they at a reserve somewhere?

Cheers. I used slightly different settings on them and there is a bit of PP. They are fairly heavy crops so had to tweek them a little to get the best out of them without overdoing it (I think), that's why theres a difference in them.

They were taken while I was out with the dog, walking on a country road not a mile from my house. There's plenty of em up here, not rare at all

Well spotted Brian - unfortunate about the twigs in 2 & 3 - but lovely poses. Not used to seeing that blue bg though.

Ah I see Still intrigues me why birds that were common around this area when I was younger have just dissapeared :shrug: could be a 101 reasons I suppose,
