A quick one from today taken at Leighton moss not the best quality image but one I've never managed to get before I do have the full sequence of the mating they were probably 200 metres away and the image is about a quarter of the original frame.

Sex on a stick now Phil - whatever will you come up with next matey :confused: :biggrin:

I think you done well here considering the techs - that BG is great as the detail is very uniform - nice behavioural image and a damn near perfect comp - cracker :wavey:

Hi Phil,
Despite the big distance between you and the birds the quality seems to have held up well.
A great moment to witness and capture. :toast:
