1D2N, 600mm f4 is x 1.4tc, 1/640s, f7.1, iso 400.

Spent most of the day looking for one of the few bearded tits amongst one of the largest reed beds in Europe. Heard one call and saw something flash past that looked like a sparrow!

Had to make do with this.

Very nice DoF here Ian - isolates the goose perfectly

Slight pity it's got its back to you would be my only nit

Works for me - I like the enquiring "over the shoulder" look.

I can cope with the back given that the bird is still looking at you. Great Bg.
