What a great composition! I love the poses and the feet of the nearest bird are great. The overall feel is wonderful and wintery. Minor nit is the fence posts to the rear left, but I realise where you are and what they represent and thats fine, its just their linearity that grabs the eye. But they dont in any way detract from what is a lovely image!

Great timing Phil and with the flock in formation, it just gives it that edge set against a telling scenery. :toast:

That works brilliantly, you couldn't have got them all in a better position if you'd been an air traffic controller. :toast:
