Haven't managed a post for months, thanks to work and weather. Just back from a couple of weeks in Orkney though and managed to get several days out with the camera. Thought I'd start off with this handsome devil.

Cheers

Very nice focus on the eye of the bird. Excellent detail and BG, a touch of enviro info in the foerground. Clipped wings a slight niggle but, sometimes you can't have everything.
