Taken during a very pleasant day out today. Sunshine and snow. Idyllic except for the tourists that inevitably turned up mid-day

Ohh Maggie !
If only that head had been turned this way a bit ! It would have been sharper too.
Great attempt though.
been doing some flight stuff myself today but by the time I,ve hit the shutter the bird;s in Scunthorpe !

Keep at it

If that head had only just turned that would have been a cracker still well caught though

Agree with David here Maggie, a really good attempt at something different. As it's in flight I would be surprised it would turn it's head.

I like it very much Maggie - it's a super shot, excellent detail; these men are never satisfied.

Nits covered but what a delight to see the plumage revealed in this way - perfect timing.

Cheers,
Chris

Oy that was my LTT

It was my noisy shutter that set it off

Shame the head is not sharp but lovely detail

Hi Maggie, this is so near to a brilliant shot.

You've satisfied me, Maggie.

I would be quite happy with this, if I was a bird photographer. Well done.
