It's been a while since I've had a chance to go out shooting, so here is one from a few weeks ago, from near Cardiff.

Nikon D50
Sigma 70-30mm @ 240mm
1/1000
f/5.6
ISO 800

Cheers,

Dan.

Very nice light. Only nit is that the background is a little distracting. Might also apply a little more sharpening.

I agree with Jeremy.

Beautiful Light and very difficult species to do as they don't sit still, just a shame about the background.

Thanks for the comments. I agree, the background is a bit cluttered, but it's quite thick woodland at this feeding point and hard to get a clean shot. I had a go at editing it out, and make it look a lot worse!

They live in wooded areas, hence cluttered backgrounds....love the pose, could be a bit brighter,
