Nice one Ian. Personally I'd have liked to see a little more wing extension but a well caught and unusual action/flight shot :toast:

Only a day or two back I commented that I had not seen a flight shot of a single fieldfare before, now you give us one with what looks more like a small apple than a berry in its mouth!!! Great shot, and well done you for getting it.

Now you are just showing off Cyclops. A flight shot and (I think its apple as well) in its beak. Just go back to walking your dog :wink: :wink: :biggrin: :biggrin:
