    Really nice, .Love the raised leg and the surroundings with the heather? is just perfect. Exposure looks great but the birds head just appears a little soft on my screen.

    Killer setting, bird, and wingstretch. Strangely the front end of the bird looks as is there were some motion blur.

    Barrow?

    Killer environment, Alan. I just love color!! I might consider as an alternate crop cropping out the white flower in the front and some from the left.

    The head is slightly soft on this frame. Nome, not Barrow.

    Great capture! Love the colours. Yeah, the front of the bird looks a bit soft. I think the focus was probably on the belly?

    Beautiful setting Alan I've only ever seen them on the beach. I like the raised foot and great wing detail too
