Great pose, behaviour, and exposure, Andy. I often need at least 2 stops of negative exposure compensation for these, especially in good light... and I get only a few close to OK ;)

All white, all black and b/w... tricky!!

You've done a good job with this one Andy. It's great to know these guys seem to be spreading themselves around up here now. I wonder if they'll over-winter?

Such lovely lighting, Andrew, and a great pose. Two rings, eh?

Well, I'd be quite happy with it Andy. A lovely setting to catch this Egret in too.

esp. in the sun. LOL. A beauty despite the exposure issue. I tried to underexpose the setting around them but still received white blur in the feathers. Not the ideal plumage for sunny days.
