Perched high on a little 'spit' of ground, these elegant birds begged us to look down, the sheer drop, during one of Bempton's hottest days! Of course Graham gave it no second thoughts!
No chance of getting that lovely blue sea or sky that others have indicated on previous postings, so making the most of it I used the almost inky black to silhouette the head.

Great image Steve, its not easy getting an image like this at Bempton - very well done.

Nice portrait Steve. Love that creamy yellow on the head, nice intimate pose! Perhaps would have liked to see a tiny bit more of the eye, but then you would have lost the angle.

P.S Just spoke to your chum, he's heading up this way soon.
