Canon 7D Canon 500mm f4 L IS &1.4TC 1, tripod, ISO 640 - 0.3EV, 1/640 sec f5.6
After about 5 years I have at last got the pose I wanted! Maybe one day I will get a similar one but in decent light, for months now the west coast of UK has had low lying grey cloud and hardly ever a sign of blue sky......one day!
I took some shots as low as possible but this was from a slightly higher view point, sometimes at low angles the background became messy. NR to background and a little selective colour with a quick sponge on the birds to try to bring out a little more.
All C & C welcome.

Capturing similar poses really takes this up a notch, and just love the beaks full of wet grasses. Overall well exposed, as the droplets are visible on the bodies, and both nice and sharp. I wasnt there, but with you describing the conditions, you have done extremely well, and I can see why you are as happy as a bunny. Congrats on your long awaited shot.
