Very nice colours captured in the wing, nice comp with a nice pose & BG. A nice image of a hard to get close to subject
My dad calls them Peewits too.

Fabulous shot John, they are beautiful waders, and rather underestimated. The colours are superb.

As ever great light and detail. Aren't there a lot of one legged lapwings about.

Best wishes for 2010

A lovely relaxed portrait in delightful light.

Light and detail make this a cracker. Pose helps too.

Good new year to you when it comes
