Hi all, sorry have been away for a while moving house etc so my first trip for a while was to Gigrin Farm, weather wasnt great but still had a great time, heres one of my favorites.

Canon 50D, 500mm, f4, 1/1000th, iso 200

I like this, having been to gigrin myself i know it's harder than it looks to get a shot this crisp. The green background makes a nice change.

Well done,

Brian

Lovely tones and I too like the background. Great detail in the bird.

Good to see one other than against a blue sky. Looks like it was raining?

Different to the norm. and all the better for that.

An excellent, capture catching the Kite superbly on its glide in. Well seen and anticipated/captured.

I echo the comments on the unusual bg, makes in stand out a little more, well done!!
Would be one of my favorites too.
