Another shot from Co. Louth. Its amazing how fast these bird are. They never stay still. I wanted a nice portrait to show how beautiful they are. Normally all people see is a white rump disappearing into the trees.

1/1000 Sec, F5.6, ISO 400

Hi Padraig,

I’m no expert but it looks really good to me.
Given your comment as to how fast they move you must be delighted to have it.

I’ts nicely composed with lovely colour and a blurred background.

Very nice.

John.
