Really very photogenic when you can get them in range. First class image.
:wink:

Can't believe they are still hanging around....or I would have come over to the UK again :)

Well done.

Lovely and well composed flight shot. The image seems a bit grainy though, but that's easy to fix.

Although well caught, the slightly turned away head has left the eyes devoid of life Paul and that spoils it a bit for me. I don't know if you have more detail (it looks on this small version as if there might be more) but if you have then post a bigger version. I do like the flowing grasses in the foreground but would probably crop the oof dark line of trees from the top.

Nice flightshot but I agree about the head turn. The image looks also a bit soft on my screen

Nits covered.
Love the blowing phragmites or reeds/grass whatever at the bottom.
Not seen one for many years.
