A bit better than the last one I think! I took advantage of the clocks this morning and I was down the beach for sunrise, investing in some waterproof trousers also helped.

Any c&c appreciated, more on blog http://sussexbirdphotography.blogspot.com/

Hi Liam, great capture and I like the movement in the wings. :toast:

10/10 for your effort liam, the colours are nice and the photo is good, like the movement in the wings. Get a roll-mat from an army/navy store, watch these birds/tide first, then put you mat down, they'll accept you after a while and run around you liam and you'll get really close photo's, hope this will help you and reward you for your efforts. :wink: :wink:

Lovely, love the movement in the wings and pose here. Looks like it might benefit from a touch more sharpening in the head area, on my screen.

Beautiful! Excellent low angle shows the bird to best advantage. I agree another round of sharpening would help.

Great action shot and low viewpoint. A little unfortunate to lose the feet though.

Thanks all, Craig thanks for the advice and Marek I find that one a bit to messy in the background and on the sea.
