Another cracking shot John - love the expression on this one!! Would love to get even near to one - but haven't been able to this year. (Perhaps you get could get down a bit more to same level though to improve this

)

another nice one John, I'm envious of the variety of bird and other wildlife you seem to have around you.

Very nice John. I always struggle to get anything at all, the very idea of getting one doing something interesting as well is still just something to aim for.

Very envious as I've managed a grand total of one shot of this species.

Hello John.

Cracking capture of a very shy bird, and one of my favourites.
