Hello John.

Superb. I love this bird and have yet to get a shot of one. When I do go after them this is what I am looking for well done. :wavey:

The colours, detail and background are just magnificent. If only he had just turned his head a little - but this is really great!

Nice and colourful. Good to see you have the lapwing side to get the best out of that wing plumage. Like the uncluttered background - really set of the bird. Beautiful little birds aren't they. Have really enjoyed photographing them for the first time down in Elmley Marshes. :toast: :toast: :toast:
