    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks Harry, things are quiet around here as well I see, the poor old Mod has to do all the work, the rest just look :-) These are great little birds but very timid, had to hide in the reeds a while till they finally ventured a bit closer for the 400mm to get a reasonable shot.

    Like Harry said, well done exposure wise. It's amazing how similar these stilts are to the ones here in the States. You also achieved a nice angle and reflection.
