From my recent trip to the Shetland Islands.

There were lots of opportunities for close ups, which in the rain are super.

Beautiful, Graham. The detail is wonderful and it really works with all the drops on the plumage.

Excellent. I like the streaks of rain in the BG and the associated droplets on the bird. You took good advantage of the close-up opportunity.
