65 views and no comments ? That's nothing - I,ve had three times that.
No body will admit it but this forum has changed dramatically from what it was when I joined.

I find the little on is a bit lost, especially its beak, otherwise a good behavioural shot. :toast: :wavey:

Hi Phil,

I like the open beak on the young and the position of the two approaching each other.
Personally, I would try a pano crop as the large areas of green above and below are taking away from the story and interaction IMHO.

Cheers

Lovely interaction here. I agree a pano crop worth considering.
