    This pair have been egg sitting for nearly 4 weeks so should have some hatchlings any time now.

    Very appealing image. I love the fresh vegetation accentuating the nest's décor. Nice pose, great light, and the view of the eggs adds so much to the nesting story. I do wish the piece of grass was not stuck along the bottom of the bill, but all else is fantastic. Nicely done!

    Nice vibrant image David. The background is superb and I suppose the light helped that. Beautiful colour on the nest material.You will get some good family stuff unless she takes them away.- they often do !!

    Hi David, overall that looks much better compared to the previous posting, like the body posture and 'S' shape of the neck. Is there any chance of going slightly lower? You still have truck loads of blue, reducing helps the overall look.
