Taken today at Stover Country Park. For anyone local this bird has been around for about a month. Came in as a juvenile and has matured nicely. Very confiding especially when bread is available. Wardens think that it probably escaped from Trago Mills (but then who wouldn't want to escape from Trago).

1DS mk11 500+1.4 tripod and wimberley. ISO400 1/60th f8 full frame. Forgot to add Fill flash at -1 stop

He's a grand chap - nicely done :toast:

By your techs your were just a bit low on light there to say the least, so even more well done :wavey:

LOL! I saw a pair at Yarner in the water just by the car park about 6 months ago so this may well be connected to them? Quite a shock to see these there and also this being at Stover is quite a turn-up for the books!!! Nice techs, nicely exposed and processing looks great John
