Two black tailed godwits going for it at Titchwell recently. I think this falls into the "I wish I had ..." category as I would do it differently if I got the chance again - but it all happened very quickly, as they do! Its full frame bar a small slice off the water at the top.

There certainly locked in battle Dave. Nice with the spread wings and well done for a spur of the minute image. :toast:

It's not as though you can faff about when this sort of action starts. Great job for a spur of the moment.
