Excellent.
I came in tonight after doing the same thing. First one over here for thirty years ! (It's not Norfolk ! )
I was working on 800ISO 80th sec at 5.6, at 6 0'clock exactly ! At least it was a percher.
Cheers

More quality Major. Had it just missed its dinner or is there a vole under there somewhere, I've never seen them on the ground much.

There you go Eric you were right. One big beedy eye staring at two little ones.

Both lovely shots. I could do with one of these as we've just found mice in the attic!
