Another shot from the May NPN trip. This little fellow was being extremely aggressive and chasing off a pair of grey wagtail on the river Elan. Shame really as I would have preferred a nice Grey Wagtail in its place

Great shot, the angle works really well, only crit. would be the bokeh makes it seem slightly wonky.

Nice shot Mike. Maybe tone down that highlight to the right of the birds head.

Classic pose and good comp. Nice use of DOF, a good piece of NH photography.
