Salthouse in North Norfolk once again turning out to be a great spot for wading birds.
Laid down at side of pools and set up.
With the usual patients these birds would come to within 5-6 feet.
Too close in fact.
Taken with the set up resting on my camera bag to gain more or less same level with birds.

Hi a great shot Major, it could do with a small amount of counterclockwise rotation.

Cracking shot Major-agree with rotation-would make nice front cover :toast:

Hi Major

Cracking shot, the low angle and the super light and background make this really well.

I agree a slight rotation might improve it a fraction.

Excellent work, your patience paid dividends :toast:

cheers

Nice image.

Where can I get some of those 'patients' that will allow me to get with 5-6ft of waders? :smile:
