I have actually only posted one so far (due to being out of circulation) so thought I would have another shot. Again taken at Gigrin Sat week ago (in poor light).
I actually preferred this to the "usual" plain background but no doubt a lot of folks will disagree. Still if we all wore brown suits...........

I agree - the backdrop puts it into context a bit.
Very nice.

Very nice Maggie I like the BG , so much better with this sort of backdrop to the sky shot ones .
Glad you are feeling better and hope you're back out again soon . You can't beat a bit of good old hospital grub...LOL

The BG is working for me too, the angle of the wing and tail are also working. A good looking image Maggie.

Something different from this site and a well executed image. Kudos for both.

Well captured shot. I appretiate how difficult it can be to include environment in the shot.

Well done Maggie - another one in the bag from those bad conditions.
With the time off you can use that new pop-up hide on your garden birds - we can all see some new shots of Maggies t*ts
It doesn't stop does it.............................

An excellent in-flight capture, set against an arborial BG. Very nice indeed. Definitely
worth a couple of pints of G******s. That is if you are allowed to partake, that is, from what I can read here. Hope you are OK.
