Thanks, guys!

Undoubtedly helped by it being the 'silly season' when, like Pheasants, they're pre-occupied by other than the desire to run away and hide!

Not helped by the fact that I left the monopod in the car - and the wind was blowing me (or rather the lens) all over the place!

A great natural history shot that fulfills all the requirements of those narural history buffs that specialise in this genre of photography.

Mmmm, now where's that bottle of scotch!

Cheers, Abers! Though have to say that I think that in some ways I prefer this shot as it says a whole bunch more about them:
