Flooded pasture land had created an island and attracted several species of birds to nest with relative safty from cats and foxes.

Wonderful find, John. I like the protective position of the stilt and the detail of the eggs.
You did a fine job capturing this stilt as it is not an easy subject to expose and I love the composition. As Gayle mentioned, a wonderful protective pose and nicely framed.. Excellent environmenta; capture John !!
A great capture and added interest with the nest and eggs. As previously mentioned black and white are always difficult but you nailed. On my screen there appears to be a suggestion of a halo running along the birds back!!!
