Juvenile Herring Gull
This is to show Ann what I do when I can't PP the inconvenient grass/leaves/twigs etc... cut it off and show a close crop instead!!:-O

Some out of focus blades of grass cut right across his middle and tail, and I'd not a clue where to start to try and repair it, so you've got a close-up instead of the whole bird today.

I did try to re-position myself to get the grass out of the picture but it just wasn't possible without getting my feet wet, or falling into a bush!

The only way to get rid of items across the subject is to use the "clone brush" which copies from one side of the offending object and overwrites it with the bird details.
