i recognise him , good to see you're up and posting again Chris, lovely shot with the light and pose though you know i'd prefer it composed with the whole bird, then again each to their own

Good stuff !

Where's the steam coming out of the mouth ??

thanks for the comments all.

John - we did have one opportunity but unfortunately he was facing away from us at time so no images were taken. Agreed though it would have been a good finishing touch.

Chris.

Very nice Chris and have enjoyed all the recent postings of these guys and yours is no exception. Thanks for sharing.

This is a great one Chris and I like the movement on the beak. The composition is really nice as well
