Here is one from earlier this week. The light on one side of the hide was excellent and on the side of the Godwits it was a bit harsher than I would have liked.

I don't normally do squarish crops but couldn't settle on anything too rectangular for this one.

C&C welcome.

Thanks

Austin

Nice action, and I think it fits the square well in this case. These birds really do go for it, and often at some length!

That looks like a dangerous business. Fine shot.

Hi Austin

Nice stuff, i tend to use the viewing screens to the right of the hide now, better light!

Hope to see you soon
