The bottom image is posted by mistake,could mods remove please.
Lovely shot Chris I like the bird in environment and I am also pleased to see the leg feathers, so often the legs become obscured by the grasses or heather. The pose looks quite regal and it makes for a very appealing image.
Thanks Jonathan,if you look on the legs, wing and neck,you can see the bird is moulting.
He does look proud...great lighting...and nice amount of environment included...a very pleasing image of a new to me species from across the pond!!
