This is a great shot Ken. I wish for a little more room on the bottom but that's minor. Nice details! :smile:

My Bogie bird ! I love these and this is the shot I would die for. can't explain why but has always been one of my desparate "need to gets " ! Seen them in the Camargue but never within distance (old days/Film)

Great shot. I agree more on bottom but also my main hate of reflections - you would have had to cut the refection in half !!
Cheers
John

Steve,
Thanks, the lack of room at the bottom results from more "weed".
John,
You do not see them that often, but I know a few places
:wink:
