Anything that pretty has a God-given right to be awkward Phillip :biggrin: :biggrin:

Super sharp and a nice comp - and the perch doesn't bother me at all :toast: :toast:

Hi Phillip

It's called 'sod's law' and I suffer from in frequently - still a very very nice shot!

Hi Philip,

Great Kingfisher shot! Perhaps taking a bit off that perch makes this even stronger!
Well done!

Greetings,
