Wigeon in flight
I stood on the beach with Phil Tomkinson admiring this cloud formation forming over the sea and the way the rising sun was lighting up the clouds when I said I wish they was a flock of waders or Geese flying by, then realised directly behind me was a big marsh with loads of birds flying around :rolleyes: So we jumped in the car and went half a mile up the road and then spent the next hour photographing a range of different birds flying past this spectacular setting. :biggrin:

Canon 1Ds 500mm lens, 1/2000, F4, ISO 200

Nice one Danny. Was kicking myself all day yesterday that I was stuck at a computer with the weather the way it was in this area. Today you'd barely be seeing beyond the end of your 500mm! :smile:

A simple yet very beautiful image, one I'd most definitely have gracing a wall. Many thanks for the advice today Danny, much appreciated.
