Great stuff ! Head shield and the blacks handled well too ! That pale line below the bird has started to get my eye a bit but nothing to bother about.
Cheers

I always find black and white birds tricky to handle, but you have handled both extremes well here.

Wonderful exposure brilliant to see their red eye, lovely low angle and the bit of interest gained from the pond-weed in beak tells us what he's been up to :wink: :wink: :wavey:
