Hi,

Working through my files from the weekend I came across this one that I had missed earlier, this is the partner bird slowly patroling the nest site, Taken in a short break in the rain :rolleyes:

All the best

I like this a lot Phil - it does have a very peaceful air about it. The soft light works wonderfully well.

Hi Phil
wonderful image. I must be a little bit old fashioned as I used to only photograph in good lighting conditions, but after seeing some of the images on the Forum taken in bad weather. I have completely changed my mind.
