    I returned to the locale yesterday but nothing showed - probably because we had sunshine for two hours! This one is from November 2015. All C&C welcome.

    Very nice Jon. Like the gently changing BG. Great head angle too.

    Classic head turn and perfect background, excellent work Jon.

    Are you out tomorrow? The afternoon forecast looks perfect round your way for shorties as long as the wind isn't too strong

    Yes I will be there, I haven't been there in the afternoons for some time so I am not sure if there is an ideal time. I should warn you though that I saw nothing at all on Tuesday morning.

    Jon:

    All the details are nice, and the stare seals the deal.

    Congrats

    Nice pose and stare. The eyes on this species are hypnotic

    BG tops it off beautifully

    Lovely Jon, great colour palette, as the soft tones of the BKG tie in well with the plumage.
