Nice image, Phil, i my self prefer this one.Nice glint in the eye and open beak mid call i guess?

Much less tight in the frame than your last shot and all the better for it. Maybe ditch the 1.4x next time?
Cheers,

This one is much better in my opinion. I especially like the open beak with the droplet.

Wonderfully detailed shot Phil - I nearly missed this one :toast:

Just a smidgin tight at the left but all that detail and the open bill all make up for it - class shot :wavey:

Stunning image Phil, tight or not, but shows great detail which is the upside of frame-fillers. Nicely done in all respects :toast:
