Hi Jack,

Lovely capture of a really lovely bird. The timing of this is just spot-on!

Nice one Jack, lots of life and movement in it. Looks like it was a dull day weatherwise.

Yes it certainly does look like the weather wasn't with you here Jack, but you have done very well, a nice tonal range some action and those water drops lift the image...

I like it...
