Hi Craig

Very nice - just a little tight in the frame for my taste!

I would like to see a bigger image-check out the posting rules-you seem to have caught the nice irridescent colours in the wings

Looks a nice shot Craig - could do with posting bigger - so it is more enjoyable.

A good record shot to have in your collection.
A lower angle shooting angle would have worked well here,although perhaps this wasn't possible and more importantly may have disturbed the bird.

Hi Craig

A good behavioural image and you have done well in the circumstances and the limited shooting position in the hide. A bit more space around the bird would be a small improvement.

cheers
