A male Common Snipe strutting his stuff to a female that is just out of shot to the right, she caused me a bit of a headache when trying compose the shot, as each time I tried to position
the male to the left to try and get the best composition she would just creep into the right of frame.

7D, 500f4LIS + 1.4TC ( 98% of Full Frame )

Thanks for the feedback on the Greenfinch and thanks for looking.

Been trying for weeks to get a clean shot of one and you're moaning about two! :D
Love the display pose, well taken on that wall again ... when I see them they are usually asleep with beak under wing!
 
That's a beautiful shot, such a nice smooth background and the bird is wonderfully sharp, great separation from the bg!

That's a fantastic composition, really great light as well. It's nice to see a water out of the water for a change and you really have captured a great image here, well done!
 
Thanks very much, Mark...it's probably the most productive wall in North Yorkshire ;)
 
Great shot, I tried to get a few today, just gave up so how you got that is beyond me, well done.

Thanks Pete...just time and patience and knowing when to back off so I don't spook them.

Other than the above, as with all wildlife photography it's all down to luck.
