That's an absolute belter Ian. The background compliments the bird so well and it's 'heads up' pose shows off the eye wattles superbly.

Very nice indeed. Love the setting.

Bird and background are lovely Ian, not quite so keen on burnt heather in foreground.

A species I hope to get one of these days. Great work, and complimentary b/g. Nice one.

The heather foreground being burnt give this image a bit of Grouse enviro difference, that said it is a touch stark

Good to see that you are getting about a bit...
