Chris i'm not to sure of the name of the hide ?.But to get there you go through a gate with "Fox alert keep shut", then you go under a small bridge.

Dont tell me you were the one to the left of me with the camo stuff on and using a 600mm Canon lens when i got there at about 11:30.Someone called him Chris.

Very Very good-A bird most of us wouldnt even bother with but this has a great pose-detail spot on as well

Nope, wasn't even there. I was meant to go yesterday but due to dodgy weather report didn't bother. Seeing your image makes me wish I had now!

I will probably go on wednesday as the weather looks good...

Thanks and regards
Chris.

Hello Alan
Not usually keen on frame fillers, but this works really well. A stunner!
Best wishes

Great timing and composition Alan
