Yellow Hammer: Both images, of the same bird, were taken with an EOS 100/400 mm lens, hand held but image stabilised. This is a common bird in the hedgerows around Southwell, UK. Crit.

Both look nice to me John. On the second one I would crop it tighter to the bird. Just leave a little of the greenery.

Hi Bluduck,

No I have no idea where the name came from. I did a search on Google but to no avail. Sorry.

John.
