One from yesterday,

Not much variety or numbers of birds on my coastal patch yesterday, as the local anglers were positioned in the prime areas :mad: :biggrin:

I managed a good few shots of these chaps {which saved the day}, although the majority of them were 'feet-less' :smile:

I really should start taking my flashgun along, as the contrast is on the harsh side. Unfortunately my Tenba bag is full to bursting, so i may have to take one less cheese roll in future, to allow space for my flashgun :frown: .

A lovely shot, of a lovely looking bird

Nice clean BG with a interesting FG.

Oh and lol @ having a cheese roll priority over a flash gun :biggrin:

Very nice, Alan. Slightly contrasty perhaps , I would agree but beautifully sharp and nicely composed.

Cheers

Nothing wrong with the contrast IMHO. Lovely shot.

In my opinion the cheese roll should stay as you've done well without the flash :biggrin:

Very good shot :toast:
