Greylags on misty dawn
Greylags have been feeding up in nearby fields for the past few weeks. It is a bit hit and miss as to where they will come in each morning but I was in the hide just in time on this occasional to get the dawn flight.

Straight shot - no funny business!

Nikon D3, Nikon 200-400mm lens.

An absolute beauty and I am so envious - I have been trying to do this for ages! I'd love to know what the techs were to get the birds sharp.

Brilliant! Really love shots like this. Echoing Greg, the colour is great!

Cheers,

Lewis.

Lovely, full of atmosphere, and great formation flying from the geese!

I think the only thing that spoils this image is the fact that you cant show it bigger.
I can well imagine it to be something else.
