Great sharp image. I'm surprised you still have skylarks around in January :wink:

Hi Helge yes we have them all year round here on the West Coast.

Hi Phillip,

Nice environmental shot - would like the see the bird separated more from the top background level but plenty of detail, sharpness and nice even light.

And those talons look deadly!

Hi Phillip,

Great shot of the Skylark with good colours and plenty of detail. I saw a pair myself today and if I get anything as good as this I'll be happy.

Well Done

Regards

Rob
