Snow Bunting
A snow bunting from Sunny (sometimes) Norfolk. Had spent some time laying down with differing birds flying in and out. This bird was part of a small grouping of about 20-30 birds.

A beautiful image Ian. Lovely reflection and the foreground and background colours really blend with the image. Not sure if I would have preferred a little more room on the left and a little less on the right but still very nice as it is. :smile: :jump:

Very nice Ian and a cracking reflection. Possibly a tad more on the left .. but I like it as it is. I recognise that puddle I'm sure !!

Nice, just wondering if a slight reduction in contrast, and levels would help for presentation here, love that the bunting appears to be looking at its own reflection...a narcisist bunting.

Nits covered, but a wonderful shot that I would be very proud of.

Well done. Nit mentioned but it's a very very small one if you ask me. I really like this. Maybe just tone down the chest a bit?

A lovely shot indeed, love the reflection and light. Would prefer more room on the left. But a very pleasing image as it is. Well done.

Seems it is watching himself in the reflection.
Fine behavior shot
