Wryneck

Spent yesterday pulling together some recent work for a talk at a local camera Club last night - good reason to sort out some of the pile of "to be processed" work including this Wryneck - one of a series of shots from a couple of enjoyable early mornings this summer.

That is a beauty I love the way the light falls on the bird.

Cheers

Cracking shot Mark, you've caught the pose and light just right. Might be tempted to darken the oof right hand corner just a little.

Bird I have never even seen.

Supurb image of a bird I would love to see

Jacqui

Splendid marvellous and fine!

Very nice Mark, I like this a lot, the light on the bird is just perfect. A bird I've never seen also.

Beautiful image - the greens and browns work so well together. Nice. Tristan

Love it Mark - nice how the bird 'grows' from the tree - top shot

Mark,

Well done not an easy bird to photograph.

Ian

Lovely shot. As Mark says, not an easy bird to see let alone photograph.
Dave

Hi thats a supurb image.

Phillip.

Fantastic shot - I have only ever seen these creeping around on the ground in the UK - or distant views singing in the tops of trees - great light, great pose, very envious!!

Superb shot. I've never seen one of these in the flesh.



Paul

Just love Wrynecks Mark. Nice one.

Major.

Would love to see one of these and then get a shot like this. Nice.

Wonderful bird in great light. We get them every year at Dawlish Warren. Very nice shot.

Hi Mark

I think they are wonderful birds and you have captured this one very well in a nicely composed image!

David

Like everthing about it. Excellent capture

Hello Mark

Cracking shot of a difficult bird to do, your comp is spot on and the light is nice. Just think if you lost these by accidently formating your card

Danny

Thanks for all the positive comments - Danny you know too much

For those that are interested having spent a morning photographing this pair of birds (5-10 second changeovers at the nest every couple of hours only so not an enormous amount of material and a lot of sweat and concentration) I stupidly re-formatted my card by mistake the same afternoon (first and last time I can assure you ).

Fortunately a second morning gave me another chance!

Mark

Excellent....only nit, it aint mine

Blimey! Craking shot.I wish it was mine
Frederic

Hi Mark I've never seen one of these before but i want to now.

Excellent image

Simply superb shot - lots of character and detail. Excellent.
