Nice job, Beach. I can never get a shot of any kind of bird. Well done, as usual!

If I were Beach I'd come up with an appropriate caption to match his beautiful capture .. But that aint me, we'll just wait for what this man captures as he sees.. he aims to please, not hard on the eyes - you'll have to agree ..
