    I managed to capture this one at the weekend, in my hometown. An Eider courtship display. He can sure 'puff' that chest out, whilst he woooo's the Girls.

    Beautiful Will, love the colours - just about perfect, the pose couldn't better

    (I see a slight grittiness in the image, almost like a little noise - but only slight).

    What a beautiful bird! Low angle works well, and the detail is really good. I see some slight noise, but does not really bother me.

    I like the pose, low angle and soft pastel colors of the Eider. Nice image Will.

    It was quite a large crop Jon..Just wondering, if I had used my 5D4 here, would it be better IQ, without the slight noise... I think it may have.
