Cheers guys, the barbed wire at this site is infront of a sloping field, so shooting wide open always gives a super smooth BG.

Andy this is good and at least you have got rusty barbed wire the bg as mentioned is nice and the bird stands out very well against it.
This is a fairly rare bird in my part of Lincolnshire but i do have one that visits my pool.

Lovely pose and perch Andy. If I'm honest I prefer to see a just a little detail in the background rather than a completely flat one like this, but still a lovely shot.

Lovely shot Andy. I'd just add a sliver of room above if the full frame composition allows :toast:
