Nice shot Edwin.
A friend and I will be working these in the next two weeks, Trouble is they are going straight to the nest. But they are taking bait off posts we have erected etc. It will be interesting to see what we get. I prefer the natural food shots
Cheers

Nice image and the wooden structure is different and adds extra interest to the scene.

Another lovely detailed image Edwin. I'm not quite so keen on the perch but as Justin states, it is different.

Hello Edwin.

Another fine image.

I think you should have posted this one first, and it would have got a lot more comments. The other two you posted were very strong images, and I think its hard for this one to follow them.

Its still a lovely image and one I would love to have.

Hi Edwin

I love the framing of this bird, with his shape echoing the leg of the wooden structure.

As this is one of my favourite birds I am very envious of this series. I especially liked the one with the lapwing chick, and I look forward to picking your brain next week for some tips on this species in particular.

Every time I see one of these perched they are too far away for me, so I envy both your field craft and your use of the equipment.

A stunning series Edwin. I couldn't agree more with Guy. Those other two shots make this one look ordinary in comparison - which it isn't.
