Nice one and a great perch too.
The ring spoils it for me but that,s a personal thing.
Cheers

Very nice image Jack , super perch , like to POV , the wing bar is a little blown but that doesn't detract from what is a very nice capture.

The perch and BG are excellent, the angle of the WP is (whilst out of your control) a bit awkward but I am sure you will nail it perfectly soon.

Nice capture in a good setting Jack.

Cracking Image Jack, was this from the LVNP hides?

thanks for the comments all, yes this was from one of them, are you local?

Jack,

Thanks for your reply.
Along time ago I was, I moved to Devon about 10 months ago but I used to visit the hides on a regular basis.

Hi Jack

Good to see you today, hope you had a good one, minor nit mentioned but a very nice image of what can be an elusive bird.

Very nice Jack,

I really like the perch and background and I would probably have lost the ring somewhere in the process ( personal choice )

Best regards,

Austin

This is very interesting to my eyes Jack - I would love to have this.

Nice setting and a lovely bird. Exposure could be a bit better,

Looks good to me, great perch. Ring's a bit of a spoiler, but I guess we won't be happy until everything has a bar code on it.
