Woodpigeon portrait

Taken at last years conference at Slimbridge.
1/350 @f6.7
iso 500
500mm

A good, sharp, detailed portrait. The birds colours are shown off particularly well here.
A little too cramped in the frame for me but the quality more than makes up for that.

A little more room around the bird would have been nice Robert, but as Justin mentions, the quality of the shot is excellent, colours are spot on too.

Very sharp and such a lovely and forgotten bird they are everywhere and always give your position away colours and markings are lovely.the tail is a little tight but still a fine WP image Robert

Very sharp and a tad too large in the frame, needs really more space around it but still very nice.

Hi Robert, super image and the nits have been covered.

Nits covered, but still a great image of a species that ought to be getting more coverage than it does. Why do most of us ignore common species?

Nit covered, excellent colours. nice capture.

Slimbridge is good for woodies, nits covered, a nice vivid image.

Great BG and super detail .You've done well to hold that neck ,I always blow that bit.

Tight in the frame but shows some fantastic detail, great perch and the bird stands out well against the background.

tony

very nice detail and colour just a shame there is not more room for the tail

BIF - great. For once, though I wish there was a tad more room near the tail. An excellent portrait nonetheless.

tadge big but great definition
