perhaps not the most attractive pose but a nice image nevertheless.

A lovely bird in a gorgeous setting. I agree the pose is awkward though.

Tis a pity about the pose, but an interesting shot.
I know they feed on Phragmites but it seems a little strange somehow. But that's the way it was so be it.

Isn't a classic pose but I like it and it works for me. Nice to see the LTT on something other than a stick :biggrin:

Difficult shot and lighting but well executed. :smile:

Nice colours within the image but as has been mentioned, the lighting and pose did you no favours. Considering that, you have made a good job of it.
