Going for a bimble.
D7000 500mm f4 ISO 250 1/800s at f8 handheld supported on snow covered boulder.

Title says it all I guess. Shows the harsh environment that these birds live in.

Many thanks for the comments on my last post. :smile:

Nick. :wavey:

Rather like Neil's buzzards, this is developing into a great series. I think this is my favourite so far.

Brilliant composition. A picture that tells a story and poses a number of questions. Excellent.
