Slimbridge - Greylag
You can tell when things aren't happening at Slimbridge!

Picture the scene, 6 photographers in a row, all with ££££'s of camera equipment each, shutters firing incessantly, swears & curses interjected with the word "seperate". I look out the window; a skein of greylags.

Beggars can't be choosers and practice makes perfect.

500mm/TC14/BB
3200'/F5.6/400ASA
FF/USM/Levels

Nice colours Tom, there's nothing wrong with taking pictures of the reintroduced Greylags at Slimbridge, a subject doesn't have to be rare to make a good photograph.

Hi Tom

Nicely caught, colours are super. Excellent image, even the more mundane subjects can make great photographs, as you demonstrate well here.

cheers

Very good Greylag flight shot Tom. Nothing wrong with these subjects and many people around the country don't see them locally. I have to travel to get a shot of these.

Nice one Tom.
Good to see you there, but how did you recognise me under all that insulation :rolleyes:

I have a hopeless head for names but I rarely forget a face. I'm right-brained.
