The climate been strange over the last few weeks. Everything is back at least a month. There are still Brent Geese along the south coast. Here is one from Ballycotton yesterday. 1D III, 500mm f4, tripod

Superb pose and image Michael.Just a tiny bit contrasty on my gear. A very slight gamma up would do it
Great guts to this one.

What a beauty. I love the pose and setting. As John says, it looks a bit contrasty but I guess the light may have contributed.

I agree about the contrast, but fabulous to see them in this plumage,

Hello Michael.

Cheers everybody for the feedback. I agree it is a bit contrasty. I am finding metering in strong light a bit tough. Beautiful bird in summer plumage
