Meadow pipit
A recent effort from my local coastal area.

I was intending to attempt some dipper shots, when this chap decided to land on a nearby rock.

It was a bit too close for comfort, and ive needed to add a small amount of canvas at the top :rolleyes:

D2h
400mm + 1.6 tc
400iso
shadow grass bag hide
failed attempts with the dippers :frown:

Excellent detail. Why is it that unspectacular birds always seem to make such charming images?

Super Meadow Pip image Alan even if it is a bit tight, certainly captures the character of these super LBJ's

It is slightly tight at the top, but a lovely image. The BG would be easy to add canvas if you wanted. Superb :toast:
