I don’t get on here as much as I’d like, very lax of me as I see that the ‘old hands’ and newer folks just keep on steadily raising the bar with excellent imagery……motivational stuff…….

I hope this offering of mine meets with approval. Taken last week in evening light, the chick seemed to be a bottomless pit as the male constantly dived and brought back small fish, a Flounder in this case I think.

Best wishes to all…

Paul

A very nicely composed shot. It may just be my monitor, but the whites do look a little blown to me.

Lovely capture - I'd love to see this let alone photograph it.

Such a tender moment captured well. Agree about the whites, but still a wonderful image Paul.

Despite the nits mentioned above, it's a fine capture of a great NH moment. Very well observed and taken. Just tone down those whites and it be brilliant.
