Certainly a lot better than anything I got that day, Lea. I went back once more on the Tuesday after we met up, and couldn't get anywhere near them. Apparently the people at the Bird Observatory had netted and ringed them, and the birds were flighty as a result. According to Tony, the entire flock bar three are now ringed, so a shot like this one, showing the legs, is doubly something to be proud of.

Very nice, although i find the OOF stone in the middle distracting, had it been at either side it would of been fine, probably just me anyway

All the best

Really like the low angle and composition but agree with your thought about the softness Lea. Perhaps some more sharpening after the resizing? :smile:
