    , Taken on a day when it poured with rain and freezing cold so that's my excuse for any failings, did worry about my gear on the day.

    Thanks for taking a look and your comments and tips on my last post (Snipe) appreciated as always.

    Keith.

    That's a fantastic shot Keith! I think it looks great with this crop as it gives space and has room for rain to show in the BG.
    I don't envy you for your weather.
    TFS!

    Agrees with Akos, lovely image Keith. Once again I am in awe on your capturing a snipe in the open on a perch like this. Love the rain in the image. Thank you for sharing.

    Another good one, Keith. Nice pose and perch, and gorgeous background. And the rain tops it off. Well done.

    The face of the bird is so expressive that it gives me cold shivers :). Good work.
