Hi Brian,

I like this very much! There's plenty to look at - looks like it should be in a caption competition!! The one with it's tongue out looks very protective! Everything looks good to me - sharp enough to cut yourself on.

I think this is very nice.
Love the fact that the only colour is provided by the birds beaks and tongue, other than the white and grey of course.
The second bird sheltering under the other's wing is superb and makes for a very appealing and interesting image,IMO.
Open beak is a real bonus too.

A great moment very nicely captured.
