Emberiza melanocephala

The Black-headed Bunting, Emberiza melanocephala, is a passerine bird in the bunting family Emberizidae, a group now separated by most modern authors from the finches, Fringillidae.

It breeds in southeast Europe east to Iran. It is migratory, wintering in India. It is a rare but regular wanderer to western Europe.

Black-headed Bunting breeds in open scrubby areas including agricultural land. It lays 4-6 eggs in a nest in a tree or bush. Its natural food consists of insects when feeding young, and otherwise seeds.

This bird is 17cm long, larger than Reed Bunting, and long-tailed. The breeding male has bright yellow underparts, chestnut upperparts and a black hood.

The female is a washed-out version of the male, with paler underparts, a grey-brown back and a greyish head.

Hi Yildiz
Great compo, perfect sharpness, nice background.
The eye looks a bit dark without any lightspot, but this is a minor problem.

WOW. The colors are stunning and DOF is outstanding. Nice complimentary background. Focus is razor sharp. I can see detail in feathers. My preference would be to not crop so closely leaving maybe anothe half inch on left and on top. Outstanding photo!

Netliği , kompozisyonu ve fonu ile başarılı buldum..Eline sağlık..Selamlar..
