One from the north Norfolk coast. This bird was determined but not very successful, at least whilst I watched .. A nice mellow evening light though.

Good exposure and nice crisp detail Dave

It's a tad big in the frame for me, but that's just a personal thing - other than that I can't fault it.

Nice image

very nice image, the wind on the feathers and mud on the face really add to it

I agree with Jack. Excellent detail in the plumage and good exposure on the whites.
