Brilliant.You are a bl---y genius!

Terrific!

As you posted a couple of days ago: "I wouldn't have put this on the net normally, but as I got some even better images of this bird yesterday, I decided I would!"
So this is one of your not so good pictures as well ...? Great background though

Many thanks, and yes Jack, this Lapwing in particular has been a real delight to photograph in this way, this is one of the earlier shots, i.e. over a week ago, I have refined the technology and technique a bit better now I am used to the gear, and I have also re landscaped the pool and background a bit, so it looks like a different location.
The shots I have of this bird hovering and pulling a worm out of the mud, or of it bathing, along with several others should win a few competitions.
I have also done Yellow Wagtail, Pied Wagtail, Grey Partridge, Linnet, Goldfinch, Starlings (bathing) and Corn Bunting (bathing) with this kit too, its very time consuming but Its very rewarding too.

Excellent work Nigel.
