Great attempt though.

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. :wink:

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

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

Cheers,
Chris

You've satisfied me, Maggie. :biggrin: :wink: I would be quite happy with this, if I was a bird photographer. Well done.
