Even though I see these birds everyday, I can never tire of how amazing they are - and your pic really shows off their upper patterns and colours - Good job

Great feather detail and composition, Stan

Very nice image. Is it a big crop?? if so, you have managed to keep good detail and noise under control.

 

[SKM]

Cheers guys

Very nice image. Is it a big crop??

not much of a crop - they do come very close, sometimes cant get them all in the frame

Very nice to see it against a blue sky ... not always the case at Gigrin

That's a nice shot
I see these most days too around the Oxford area and never tire of seeing them. They seem to be spreading further along the A40 towards Cheltenham which is good

Cheers guys
