Hi John

Nice shot of what in my experience is a very difficult bird to get close to!

Lovely wee bird John and great shot. I'm off to N. America in the summer and really looking forward to a whole new twitching experience.

First time I've ever seen a bird being up-staged by the sky

Amazing how thin it's perch is.

A very eye-catching shot John

We could certainly do with some of that blue sky over here at the moment.

Very sweet shot, John - I agree this is a difficult specie to get close to!
