which is apparently the typical song of the yellowhammer (Emberiza citrinella): judge for yourself here link
This particular specimen was first heard singing, and then spotted, high on a tree top whilst basking in the dying rays of the late evening sun and photographed using a K3 with attached Sigma APO 100-300mm f/4, EX DG and 1.4x EG DG TC.

That was my first instinct, but the shot was taken at the limit of the lens/sensors useful range and the yellowhammer fills only a small part the frame. I also wanted to show the bird in context, which is typically perched on the tips of the highest branches.
I do agree, however, that a tighter crop would have more impact and so I'll have to work harder at getting closer next time
Thanks for you input
