Hi all,

This was taken in Majorca last month on a blisteringly hot day. Fortunately I was the only person in the hide, so I was able to leave the hide door open in hope of a breeze.

The Egret was clearly complaining about something, maybe the open door, who knows....

C&C Welcome.

Canon 1DMK4, 500mm, 1.4x, f5.6, 1/2500, ISO200.

Cheers

Austin

Superb! Just the right amount of mush, great composition and nicely muted colours. ( Come to think of it, it maybe could take a little more saturation)

Good capture Austin, agree with Ian re the saturation, lets hope we get record numbers coming to the UK this year.
