Wow what shot, it's not just the pin sharp detail, but the pose captured, the gorgeous background and portrait framing that make it exceptional.

Thanks for your comments - the bird appeared and then vanished just as quickly. The matching background colours are the local conveniences at Hartlepool Headland!!!!
