Pied Wagtail
Canon 1dIII 500mm + 1.4x f7.1 1/800 iso400 FF


Hi all

Man alive, these blighters are hard to snap! Trying to get them moving is a nightmare because every bit of them is on the go, and when they finally do stand still they drop their tail and lose their wagtailness! A face-on view seemed the best approach.

I like this a lot. The detail on the bird is enhanced by the totally oof surroundings. Very nice indeed.

Excellent image Simon, just the right amount of mush and a stonking BG.
