Nice one John, a very elusive bird... the square crop works in this case...

A great shot John. As always the detail is superb. I used to see them regularly in east Wales but have only seen two of these since moving to Pembrokeshire. Far more interesting than the GSW I feel.

That is quite special John as they are really very shy birds and you've captured some beautiful details.. Nice work.
