Well, I was actually out trying to photograph Marsh Harriers, but this little guy turned up and was too attractive to ignore.

D200 Nikkor 200-400VR + TC-14E II. Monopod. f8 1/1000th sec Dig. ISO 400

Hi Clive
Great shot a tad large in the frame would like a little more room on the left, I too tried Marsh Harriers at Minsmere Sunday, not much luck :frown: lots of people around, hides were full.

Regards :toast:

Hi,

A nice shot of one of my favourite birds, granted the white has gone a touch hot... the history brush is useful for bringing back detail in these circumstances...

Would prefer a lower viewpoint and the framing is a touch tight for my tastes but those are two personal things.

All the best

Hello Cive
Useful advice from Phil above, and still a nice image of the wagtail.
Best wishes
