Well the weather is cr@p here at the moment, good time to tidy discs up, found this one that i took back in November, it seems the winter has more to offer than the great British springtime.

Hi Carlton;

That's stunning...

Was this a chance shot, or had you been "stalking" the spot? Do you have a licence for "near-nest" shooting?

Cheers;

Lee

Nicely executed, gorgeous subject. A little too tight up top or otherwise I would give it a 10.
