Spent a couple of hours waiting for this guy to show itself this morning only to have it spooked by twitchers.
Comments welcome.

Nice shot but it could do with a bit more contrast and maybe slightly bigger in the frame.

I agree with Rene that a tighter crop would be well suited. Its nicely sharp, and i'm sure it would take the crop comfortably.
Its a cracking bird {and result}, and losing some of its surroundings would show it off even more.
Well done you {i'm dead jealous!}.

Hi Steve
Lovely image of a great bird. Last saw one of these about 30 years ago on the Isle of May. I agree that a wee bit of a crop might improve it a bit but, like Alan, I am jealous.
