Description

Been a while since I last posted down here so sorry for that but have been abroad to photograph on many occasions and been hosting many workshops wich took out much of my time.

Today I had a great day out on my own and went out to photograph these Bearded Reedlings amongst others.

greetings,

Jeroen Stel
