Red Legged Partridge
One from earlier in the year when I could actually lift my 400 lens and lie down flat on the ground with it :rolleyes:

Lovely lighting on this one John, I like the FG Shade and the subject in sunlight, looks very effective.

John it's a pity that the tree splits the bg a bit but the bird itself looks very good, I do like the almost marching pose into that mushy forground,would be pleased if it was mine.

Keith. :smile:

A Frenchman?!?! Should get yourself some Greys :biggrin: I'd probably crop in from the right to the trunk to take out the sliver of blue sky. Nice light though - it shows the birds colours nicely.

Just be glad you're still around, and you'll soon enough be back to lifting the 400 again.
