Lovely image-the only improvement would be the bird flying more towards you but a well seen and framed image as is :toast:

Hi John,
I agree with Dave regarding the way the bird is looking , but still a superb shot , love the wing extension and the gorse bush really adds to the shot.

Kind reagards

The Gorse compliments the colours superbly John. Very good.

That's a storming shot. You must have arms like tree trunks to hand hold that lot and get such a sharp result.

well done
