That's lovely. Love the detail and colours, and the reflection adds a lot to it.

That's a cracker Ian. Lovely pose. Shame the light wasn't a bit kinder, but you can't do a lot about that.

aren't the crest feather usually longer than that though?

Very nice Ian.

No doubt you'd have preferred to get a little lower down for a more intimate shot, but I've been to these kind of hides in Norfolk and its impossible to do so.

Lovely shot though

Thanks guys,

Paul, yes the light was bizarre today and it would have been nice if it was a bit easier, but i guess we cant have everything

Mark, yes ideally i would have liked to be a lot lower, but as you say it was a public hide so a little restrictive in what i could do without being removed from the site lol

 

[markta]

lol. I've tried that trick before and it didn't go down too well; all I did was peel the plastic sheeting to one side right at floor level. Was told to stop immediately otherwise I'd be banned.

I think a portable hide may be worth using for future visits

Nice image Ian
it does look lonely though. I remember when the fields around here
were covered in them literally!

thanks Chris, yeah there are a few of them there, but this one came quite close to the hide on its own
