The eye colour is stunning on these birds. Good pose and DOF is good too. You're having fun in this crappy weather you're getting.

The weather means they maybe less active. Just dud light

I like these guys and you`ve done well getting down to his level, can make an ordinary shot great, I just have trouble getting back up,.

Thanks mate. Long focal length means that knee height can be low enough. Besides, the ground was very wet about now.

Excellent shot. Beautiful bird too.
