Lovely set - very nice light and low angle.

Yes, nice light - I prefer 2 over 1 (rhs bird not looking away) - slightly different processing? and 3.
Sort of conditions that I also like being out with camera - and hope that there's some action - but not *too* far away

Different people have different ideas of what a 'low' shot / angle is though - the vertical separation between the foreground pair and the bg one suggests (to me) that the pov could be lower, and with the gear the OP is using he could get closer to water level ... if desired.

Thanks for the comments but at my age I might get lower but I won't get up again lol

... And if I'd got a fiver every time I've heard this'un, I'd certainly be in a position to buy a lot of people a round in the local pub

I just consider myself lucky that - less than a couple of yrs from the biblical No - I can still manage this action with relative ease.
