Yes
I think the species ID is correct but happy to be corrected. The light was dreadful, flat and dull as dishwater so there's quite a big contrast boost. The bird was quite obliging though.

Yeh, ID is right. A tad central and I'd clone out that stray twigs etc in the top and bottom left corners to clean it up but other than that, quite a pleasing take.
 
Very misty today so I feel your pain ... nice capture though with the 300 + 1.7 - agree on the cloning :)
 
Thanks guys. To be honest, I'm less bothered about the twigs on the left than the one going through the bird's head. :)
 
Your profile allows for your images to be edited, so I did a quick edit to show the difference. Please feel free to delete.

No problem with tinkering with it. Thanks for the attempt but it still leaves the part under the bird's throat which is a bit more difficult to delete cleanly. I could go on photoshopping it ad-infinitum but in the end it's a photo of a wild bird in the field with a bit of foliage around it so sooner or later you have to leave it alone.
