Love the backlighting on the tail and the squitter's classic pose. However, the eye looks a touch soft, I think it may even be just out of focus as the tail looks fine.

I went to Formby Point over the summer and had the same problem with these perishers - move so damn quickly hardly enough time to spot, take aim and shoot.

Great capture, the light on the tail is wonderful, just a shame the face is a tad soft, but i'd love to capture one of theese little fellows

Simple - go to Formby Point just south of Southport Lancashire. It's a National Trust place with parking costing about £4 unless you are a member when it's free.

Once you are there you can't miss'em - just take a bag of monkey nuts - they like them best.

For the best shots head towards the beach and sit down and feed them then sit still for a while - they'll come within a few feet (and sometimes closer - one almost ran across my GF's hand) - then shoot away (with your camera of course)

Great shot tho.
