One from tonight. Juvenile gull of some sort - not sure. Seemed to be enjoying bathing in the setting sun. He eventually took off and flew straight at me, missing my head by a couple of feet!
that really is a lovely shot Ian. I agree with Andy, everything about it is spot on in my opinion. I love these low viewpoint shots of yours and here the light, the waterdrops and the bird's pose all come together to make a great shot.

Hi Ian, everything comes together in this shot with some superb detail, light and composition. A really cracking image and very well executed.

That's a cracking shot, the water droplets enhance the shot even more.
