Lapwing
Taken in January in Norfolk.

Shame there's an OOF twig across the tail, but I rarely get the opportunity to shoot these where I live.

Comments welcome

Such a pretty bird, the lights great. I often try removing OOF things with the burn tool in PS sometimes it works.

Hi Graeme,

Nice light and exposure looks okay, but the slanting bg really catches my eye, but other than that an excellent shot!
