Pied with a Mouthfull+ repost
Pied Flycatcher
At least the rings aren't so obvious in this one. Nice mouthful of Ephemera danica(I think) which the bird was fetching from the nearest stream 1 km away.
D200 Sigma 100-500mm.

That is nice..... shame about the rings but nothing in your power to do anything about, if you stand still in Sevenoaks for longer than 10mins you end up ringed :biggrin:

This I think is a superb shot of this endearing bird.

Superb shot John and I really like the crop :smile:

2 mins in Photoshop will get rid of the rings :wink:

this is an excellent shot John. What a mouthful and very good eye contact. You did your best to hide the rings :smile:

Thanks all.
Looking at this for the first time since I put it on, it looks a bit dark ??
I'll not mention the ringing.:frown:
I never had a reply from the BTO about the first episode.
Cheers

Just fantastic John, and I agree about the rings - they are becoming a pain!!

No its lighter on my browser than when its shows on the site !! Must be my gamma or something in PSPro.
Sorry about that .
