Perfect bird, pose, and EXP. Moving it a bit back in the frame is an option. Overall as is: outstanding.

Great to see one in flight. I don't recall anybody aver has posted a BIF of this bird. Great work, Jon.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Thanks for the feedback Artie & Karl I have to admit it took some time to get this, most images were too small in the frame but eventually I got three decent sized ones.

Nice capture and good job on the exposure. What a unique wing shape this species has. I guess this has to do with the species name? Looks great.

Great capture Jonathan, these birds are a rarity where I live now, because of the farming methods. The RSPB has put it on Red Status. Its also known as a Peewit or GreenPlover.
