I didn't see many GP's this year, but of the few I did see, I managed to get a few shots I quite liked. This is one of them, taken back in July at dusk.

Haven't had much time for wildlife shooting in the last few months :frown:, hopefully I'll start getting back in to it again shortly :smile:.

Very evocative image with excellent light.

Hi Nick,

A lovely shot with the soft back-lighting creating a very appealing image indeed.
I can almost feel the summer warmth from here.

Hi Nick
nice picture with beautiful lighting. The highlight on the Bird's rump is a bit distracting.

Nicely done Nick,

If you are short of photographic time, you could always get that stuffed woodcock of yours out of the cupboard, and stick it in the field again :smile:
