From my hide at home: Pheasant calling
Not up to John M standard, I know. It is more difficult than it looks, the bird is most of the time facing the 'wrong' direction, especially when he knows where I am as he does not want to scare the hand that feeds him and his 17! ladies.

D2x, 200-400, 1/320 F/4 -2/3 beanbag

Works for me Paula.
I like the tail being visible through the rapidly moving wings.
Did you get any in portrait form as well?

Not an easy capture to get and you have made an excellent job of it. the flying droplets and the blurring of the wings puts a lot of movement into the shot.
