A very wet bird, the problem i have with it is that the bird is too wet...it just doesn't look appealing. technically it looks fine!

Nick and David have made this little pool which works pretty good out of a bit of plastic sheet in an area where there is very little water[ hardly rocket science] and i do get a decent variety of birds even a Wheatear and Corn Buntings,where not to well blessed with birds in this neck of the woods so it certainly works for me.Thanks Rene i do like to try and get these type of pictures and do realise that there not to everyones taste.
Thanks for looking and the the different views on this image.

That is a seriously wet bird Keith and I like the image. Excellent detail and certainly a different take on the bird. Very nice. :toast:
