Emberiza melanocephala, TR:karabaşlı kirazkuşu
The males are quite gorgeous with their black heads, brilliant yellow underparts and rich reddish-brown upperparts. The females are much duller although they often show at least a hint of yellow, especially on the undertail coverts and the head is usually distinctly darker than the throat, creating a hooded effect which mimics the pattern of the male. Otherwise they look like big, fairly long-bodied buntings with an obvious white eye-ring, rather sandy-brown plumage, a striking pale wing panel and a rich chestnut coloured rump. The lack of white outer-tail feathers also separates them from most other buntings.
Breeds on wooded hillsides and areas of scrub.
A common breeding bird of the Balkans, Turkey and parts of Italy, easily seen in summer in areas of open country.

Hi Alper,

USM var mı. kafasında siyah bölümde sanki biraz fazla kaçmış gibi. ne dersiniz?

Prety composition and some good detail on the bird considering the harsh light. I like the POV and DOF. Well done.

Merhaba Alper, harika bir iş. Nefis renkler ve çok güzel bir kompozisyon. Kusun önundeki ot bence kompozisyona çok şey katmış.
Keskinlik bana da biraz fazla geldi.
Ellerine sağlık.
Tebrikler.

Lovely crisp view of this bunting. I'm not sure if the upper background is naturally green but you've done well to keep the photo monochromatic with the exception of the subject bunting. I like it a lot.

Çok güzel yakalanmış bir poz. Keşke kuşun önünden geçen yaprak olmasa dedirtiyor insana :) Işık fazla sertmiş anlaşılan yoksa yeşil ton ağırlıklı fotoda kuşun kızıl sırtı ve siyah kafası çok daha belirgin olmalıydı. Elinize sağlık.
