:bounce: A million thanks for clicking to see my dear new friend and all your lovely words on this pic are so much appreciated!!! :bounce:

Jamiedude, still far from "mastering"...I keep trying to handheld this gear properly... still not happy, this time I went back home with a backache!!! :eek!: Oh, well, hope I'll solve my little physical handicap with time! ;)
LOL, Adam!!! :-O I see your point of view... there was a male too and I took pictures of him, hope I can save one for the gallery in your honour!!! ;)
Thanks a lot, Ken, but I'm afraid I'll be very busy at work in the next weeks until Easter holidays, sniff, :-C! And the weather forecast for the weekend is deplorable! :eek!: But I'll survive! :-O

Thank you again to all, cheers everybody!!! B :)

Doesn't appear that you had much processing to do with this stunning image Madam ;)

This is beautifully detailed. You are handling that new equipment beautifully.
 
A superb capture. Great colours. The bird looks formidable , perched as she is at the end of this slender twig.
 
Great catch, Marian. It has been long since I had a chance with these birds. You did well! :clap:
 
Glad to see you had your new gear with you so you could capture this beaut, well done on weightlifting your new gear, soon build you up, brill shot Marian.

Thanks Paul..
 
Wow, Marion you really have a beautiful gallery of pictures and this one is perfect! My husband and I are way out of our league on this forum but still enjoy sharing.
