Not been around much lately or done much new wildlife stuff. here's a purp from bridlington a few weeks back

Nicely detailed shot John. and this close with a 300 as well, very well done.

My only crit is that, for me, there's a touch too much oof foreground and not enough head room.

Lovely shot John,like the slightly raised platform the bird appears to be standing on. :toast:

Looks nice John, agree a bit more headroom would be nice and perhaps just a slight lift for detail in the rear flank and tail, also on my monitor at least there is an ever so slight oversized sharpening halo...
