I believe you already posted this photo a couple of weeks ago Alexander.
Lovely image. It would have been great as a vertical. Great EXP and head angle. Lovely bird. Could use a tiny boost in contrast.

Yep, looks familiar. :)
I missed the first one so nice to see. In English, bird is called Black-headed Bunting- Emberiza melanocephala. Very nice image. Maybe a bit more room at the top? It seems that Lesbos in spring is THE place to go!
Hay John,
Lesvos is a Island in the Mediterranean sea where the migrating birds has to make a stop during there flight from Africa to Europe. So at the end of April until the first weeks of May you will find there almost every bird of the European continent;)
Sure is a beauty. I like the perch and the BG is fantastic. A bit more space all around wouldnt be a bad option.
I missed it the other time, so it's a good thing you did it again :)
Beautiful, a little more room top and bottom wouldn't hurt.
