Like the POV Craig, but I too feel, it's a little tight in the frame on the r/h side, easy to correct :wavey:

Cracking shot Craig. I agree though it,s very tight in the frame-almost feels like its trying to get out of the picture !
Good stuff though

Great shot. Was it taken from the most comfortable hide in the UK? I understand it's heated and the black-tailed godwits come right up to the window?

It was :-) and they do. I am a volunteer there and look after it on sunday afternoons. I had one of the side windows open for this particular shot. Unfortunately they changed the windows at the beginning of the year and you cannot now get a really sharp shot through them.

Blimey Craig! you must have had a shoe-horn to get that in, good colours though.

Nice one Craig. I don't mind the tightness as the detail is superb. Are the windows there able to open then?? That would be good if the glass isn't ideal for photographing.
