That's lovely. Love the detail and colours, and the reflection adds a lot to it. :thumbs:

That's a cracker Ian. Lovely pose. Shame the light wasn't a bit kinder, but you can't do a lot about that.

aren't the crest feather usually longer than that though?

Very nice Ian.

No doubt you'd have preferred to get a little lower down for a more intimate shot, but I've been to these kind of hides in Norfolk and its impossible to do so.

Lovely shot though:clap::clap::clap:

Thanks guys,

Paul, yes the light was bizarre today and it would have been nice if it was a bit easier, but i guess we cant have everything :)

Mark, yes ideally i would have liked to be a lot lower, but as you say it was a public hide so a little restrictive in what i could do without being removed from the site lol

[markta]

lol. I've tried that trick before and it didn't go down too well; all I did was peel the plastic sheeting to one side right at floor level. Was told to stop immediately otherwise I'd be banned.

I think a portable hide may be worth using for future visits:thinking:

Nice image Ian :thumbs:
it does look lonely though. I remember when the fields around here
were covered in them literally!

thanks Chris, yeah there are a few of them there, but this one came quite close to the hide on its own :)
