Unfortunately let down by being oof Mark,not much more to add other than a shot like this should have been nailed quite easily,well unless you were hand holding an 800mm

Then again the chicks' eye is sharp, maybe that's what he was focusing on?

Can certainly see the back of the adult is sharp though

For the image to have full impact the adults eye as to be sharp and in focus (imho),,,,,,not having a go at the overhaul image but leaning toward the fact that it what would have made it an even better image ...because in my opinion the OOF adults eye leaves you wandering away from the main focus point ...still a good natural behaviourally shot mark just my opinion on the shot if I had taken it......

I only put it on to show where the saying Bald as a Coot comes from, maybe it's only in Nottingham, sorry.

The phrase is very old and is referred to in John Lydgate's Chronicle of Troy, 1430........we learn something everyday Mark
