This bird was busy sunbathing at the side of the runway.
I drove stright by before realising at the last minute that it was there.
Reversed back and past the bird that quite happily remained in its sunbathing postion. Thankfully.

Hello Major
I know it's a matter of personal preferences, but although it is a good image, I find it just a bit too big in the frame. On my monitor it appears a little over saturated aswell.
Best wishes
Phil :toast:

A good result Major and a fine image.Don't you just love subjects that stay put while you approach them :cool:

Nice image-maybe some selective sharpening around the eye-nice saturated colours :toast:

Nice shot, Grey's are generally slightly more wary than Red-Legged, so you were lucky it stayed. It does look a tad over-saturated on my monitor too.
