Hi Tony , thats one nice image with a lovely BG , excellent isolation of the subject , only nit for me is the ring , but there's absolutely nothing you can do about that , good work.

Hi Andy,
Thanks for the comment.
Re the ring. At Sandwich Bay the folk down there ring anything it soon as it lands! I'm sure they would ring the dogs and dog walkers given the chance LOL

Hi Tony , I know what you mean , I'll be photographing Dippers in the morning and the majority of those will be ringed birds , I guess the rings serve a purpose though.

Regards

Super..... Just sometimes ringers could be less enthusiastic.... I appreciate the need to keep track, just sometimes ... well .... nuff said.

Great image despite the ring

Great image-to see all the bird is something but to get such a nice clean background is something else-Nice head turn on the bird as well

That's a superb image . Beautiful colours, almost like a porcelain.
I know that ringing is important, but I do wish that all our wildlife didn't have to have a tag on it. My pet hate are those nature walks where every tree has a label on it.
