    Created today at the RSPB Marshside, Western UK.
    Finally they have returned to my area.
    Wild from the hide; seems to be using exactly the same nest scrape as last year (remember Casper!)

    A sweet bird Richard and nicely presented. Very good exposure, pose and angle. I wish the upper left background was the same as the rest of the background but that's a small point.

    Very nice shot. Great pose, excellent exposure, and I really like the green on the mud.
    Well done.

    I would be tempted to run a g/blur on the oof background just to take out some of the patterning but nit picking really! Great angle, not easy getting low at Marshside!

    regards.
