This little lad was waiting for a parent at the bottom of the yard on Sunday. Eventually mum and dad showed up.
Cheers,
Niall

Beautifully shot! I love how the blades of grass frame him. And he's not ugly! He's a cutie :-)

I did not see it fly, although it was gone an hour later when I went out again to have a look and Dimitri thanks for the advice a while back on image sharpening after re-sizing. Helps a lot.

Cheers,
Niall

Thanks Marie, he didn't appear to be injured, although he does look very scrawny and I have notseen him since.
