My Sigma 50-500mm 'Bigma' arrived this morning after a month of waiting. Practised from my upstairs window on this
wood pigeon Columba palumbus which had been busy browsing on the hawthorn leaves for quite some time, then must have decided that enough was enough so had decided to take a quick nap.

Ha Ha, great capture, made me smile! I bet that's been one heck of a slow month, worth the wait though by the looks of things! I love the colours in the shot. One minor nit I think I'd crop a wee bit more of the top. get rid of that dark area.
Hi David.
Hope the wait proves to be worthwhile. Now let the fun begin.
Like the comp but would take a tad off the topas already suggested.
Would make a cracking shot when the flowers open.
