Must have come to drink in mid-feed ! Interesting thingabout Bullies- They always come in pairs- when at the nest too.

Nice little lady John. Without seeing your setup its a bit difficult to comment, but a slightly lower POV would make a nice difference. Just enough of a head turn for the shot to work though

[John Robinson]

Hi Mike
No- can't do it . Its a long standing permanent hide. I don't go for low angle stuff to be honest due to lack of dof with the birds back on whiich is usually my favourite position. There are refection probs which I think I have mentioned before, the lower you get. Its a longstory.

Good details, perfect head angle, and I like the slightly drooping wings. The salad in the bill is a neat touch!! If mine I'd eliminate the two brighter spots near the head...

[John Robinson]

Now that you mention it Dan!!!!
Will do (nevernoticed them before you mentioned it!)
Thanks

Yes I like it - especially the colours The detail is good in the plumage, you have also given me an idea to coat the bottom of my pond with some shale or similar,
