Final Martin (s) pic - Honest
Sand martins(young)
This was taken about the latest of all in the series. The sun virtually dissapeared not long after the picture was taken. Hence the colour which I think has portrayed the time of day.
D2oo Sigma 50 - 500mm
ISO640 125th @f8
Sorry about the crop Fred :frown: :biggrin:
Cheers

Beautiful John - If I had to really try and find a nit I would suggest just toning down that little area of white on the breast feathers.. Very very minor as it's a very nice image to finish the series of which I have really enjoyed.

Thanks all.
I may carry on with the hide at the nest colony but its a toss up between that and the one remaing pool. The young owls are flying.
Thanks again - glad you enjoyed my little buddies ! :rolleyes: :smile: :smile:
