As soon as this opened I thought,Wow, that is very impressive. I've seen loads of flock images but there was something about this one that immediately caught my attention. At first I thought it was just the fact that it had a good solid background but then it became more obvious that nearly all the birds have nearly identical wing positions creating a uniformity that we don't normally see. I really like it Phil.

Dito before I even read Roberts reply I thought the same.
Very unusual.

Wow, that's a lot of Godwits. Nicely done Phillip. Most of the godwits over here are gone now.

This is good, I like this a lot.
I was going to say who needs a long lens for bird shots, but then I saw that you had a 800 on your D700 :smile:
