Best of a bad lot

I had a difficult day today as I went out on an adventure to a new venue for me. Lots' of my friends have posted some amazing shots from Summer Leys Nature reserve so I finally decided to give it a try myself. After talking to a number of the regular visitors, It turned out I had chosen the worst day I could to visit as apart from the light being so low, all the wildlife was so far away. Out of almost 500 shots, I deleted all but 5.
Oh well, there's always next time.

Lovely capture, I love the outspread wings. By far better than I can dream of.

Great capture.They're never around when I go there.Plenty of birds at the feeding station,usually.Fav🙂

[LManning (Laura)]

This is stunning though!

[Joanne Diochon]

Nice capture especially considering the difficulties. At least, in this age of digital photography, you didn't waste a lot of film or processing chemicals.

[Esther Rosenberg]

That is what keeps us coming back for more ! Great shot tho!

[Kerry McCarthy]

This is one lovely shot at least.

[Rick]

Great shot on this one. Some times, things just don't go right. Maybe next visit.

Lovely capture of those wings

Uh, with a little luck this shot has been exactly at the right millisecond, as the bird is right in the middle of the plants, which otherwise would have covered some parts of the bird. Really nice...
