I actually prefer this image to the whole revealed bird I think, a bit more intrigue and environment to it. Love the light!

Thanks Gill! I took quite a few shots like this during the week, usually with the bird peeking out from the heather rather than grass. Often it was out of neccessity but I like the effect too.
