Nice one, not the easiest bird to get close too. Shame you could not have twisted the post a little anticlockwise, sadly the bird tends to fly at that point :frown:

No other nits from me

A classic BOAP. The pose makes it special.

The lifted leg shows it to be relaxed and gives the image a little something extra. Lovely detailed shot Keith.

Hi Keith, the BKG with what appears to be windswept grass is an excellent backdrop to the scene. The lifted led and slight angle of the subject conveys a precarious stance which adds interest. Good colour, detail, sharpness & clarity and I like the tones within the beak and that glossy eye. Nicely done. :toast:

Cracking capture Keith. I also think the grass in the BG gives a nice effect, fantastic detail too. :toast: :toast: :toast:
