Dang it. I hadn't noticed that. Is there a remedy for a dead pixel?

It's so small you could just clone it out when/if it shows - on dark colours it might not. One click and it's done.

I have posted this already (I think) but I thought it was appropriate for the time of year.

Welcome back and that is a beauty.
Lovely photo of one of iconic and very colourful (in many ways) clowns of the bird population.

Thanks Richard

Thank you.

Can't miss the sound of these guys... I came a cross a tree with several hoping from branch to branch at lunch today.

That does not look like a Pintail, more like a Gadwall to me.

Merlin agrees... Gadwall, it is!

Great shot, but, Dave : as I understand it, Gannets nest on cliff ledges, so did you risk life and limb by hanging off the edge or what?

Not really, I’m used to working at heights. But this site is, surprisingly unprotected. I actually asked some locals on my first visit there, if anyone had ever fallen to their death, off those cliffs. They denied it, but maybe they were just protecting the tourism industry ?

Nice details and composition. I particularly like the background that sets off the chickadee so elegantly.
