Hello Ivan,
A beautiful species I have not seen before, so thank you for the education. Your images here are both superb and show this beautiful bird off extremely well. When I first saw it I thought it looked like a cross between a sparrow and a horned lark. Thanks for sharing this Ivan.

Hej Ivan
Cool shot of this Cirl Bunting. It is always good to listen a round and on that way found birds. I am learning to listen Swedish birds which I found very helpful.
Well done and TFS

There are some similarities in marking and designs with the house sparrow...and perhaps size-wise as well. I do see some very distinct differences however. Especially around the eyes where there is a yellowish colour to the feathers. And considering the likeness, the saturation of sparrows is ironically high as compared your aviary which you say is somewhat sparse in population. an interesting lesson today Mr Ivan sir!

Hello Ivan,
In my countryside I've never seen this species. Although light too poor photo is enough good.

Hi Ivan,

I think this is the first Cirl Bunting I have seen. He has such unusual colors - the head and the plummage don't really go together. This chubby little bird is posing so nicely and of course, good colors and details. I like the workshop with him singing too. I have a thing for singing birds.

A very nice picture, Ivan, I love the colours, the feeling of dawn is in this light, there is this shiny atmosphere, clear and cristal, felt in the morning. Maybe is it the feeling of Mallorca?!!! It is superb and your approach allowed you to be very close and get a beautiful picture. Thank you Ivan, it is superb,

Having seen your workshop too, I must compliment you for doing a great job that early in the morning and that too from a sizable distance, Ivan.
The bird with its fluffed up feathers seems to be warming up for the day.
From this perspective, you captured its plumage and catchlight in the eye very effectively.
TFS and regards.

Splendida cattura, messa a fuoco perfetta sull'occhio, bellissima posa e buona la soluzione trovata per la composizione per la difficoltà della posizione (anche in WS ottimo il momento di cattura, ma difficile la situazione ambientale di ripresa), ottima nitidezza. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hi Ivan.
You managed to picture a very cute bird. I have never met this species. Its pose and state of mood are so attractive. Colours palette of the shot is very nice and pleasant. Especially I like colour tone of the BG. Some extremely blurred object n the FG are distractive a little bit but shot is looked very naturally and I like it a lot. My best regards and TFS.
