That's lovely, Brian.
Fantastic texture in the body feathers.

Was he(?) trying to scare you away from their nest?

Is this a crop?
How much?
Can we see the full, no pp frame?

Sorry, I couldn't get down to the lakes today.
You did well, in between the downpours!

Roger.

The more I look, the more there is to see!
