sad sad bird!!!!

For the first time a tried my new floating hide. It works great but there was a bit to much wind. Still no vibration reduction for my Sigma:(
The first shot I took was this one. That must have been a struggle for hours. I feel sorry for the fellow.

Shocking stuff, seen a swan that had come to a similar end, very sad.

Very sad, Its a shame when fishermen, who dont care about their environment leave tackle behind like that. I used to be an avid fisherman, and never left anything behind me, even snap offs.

Hi Ed,

Like i said before...It's a sad thing thst these things happen.
You have cought the essence of this scene well.

Very sad image indeed

Tragic event excellently captured Edwin - a 'masthead' campaign image if ever there was one.

Hi Edwin,

Plucking at everyone’s heart strings again! Now this is an, 'in the environment shot' – sad but well captured. As a fisherman I find this disheartening that people can do this. A little thought goes a long way but some just don’t seem to manage it.

poignant shot, what bird is it

Thanks guys. It's a Grey Heron.

As a fanatical fisherman that breaks my heart.

A sad sight.

Hello Edwin.
This is a great shot but I wish I had not opened it. As your title says sad sad?
