Just watching a bird looking for food and suddenly he decided to stretch his wings just before taking off and was lucky enough to get the catch-lite in the eye with early morning sun light coming from the direction to allow light onto the underside of the bird creating good colour balance and a photograph which has scored well for me in local competitions.
Having spent a fair amount of time at this location the one thing that stands out for me is that patience is a necessary requirement when trying to photograph birds
