Lovely shot, and I like the inclusion of some habitat in the background.
Is that the DG version of the Sigma 500mm you are (or were!) using?

Hi Paul, good shot, but the angle seems very strange, maybe some rotation ?

HI,
Thanks vincent :)
Jeremy this is the non DG, and royal mail smashed the apature ring off! anyway i have it back now... so i'll have to get some testing in when the weather improves.
Helge, The image was shot on a sloping bank where the birds where eating grit which probably accounts for the angle.

I think these are really attractive and much overlooked (as are many of our commoner species).
