Well the Shag was on the Farne Islands and you can get quite close there, and the Inca Tern was such a stunning looking bird it had to be photographed !

Due to this thread, thought I would have a go of cropping a smallish bird, to see how far I could go with the D810.

Couldn't agree more - I couldn't believe how good this shot is when I first saw it. It's hard enough finding one to photograph but to get this quality, well...awesome!!!

Cheers folks glad you like it & thanks for the comments.
When I found this bird it was sitting on a tree stump & I didn't even know it was there until I very nearly sat on it.
