The local shoots have been on my list of things to shoot for some time...I know "snap1t" beat me to it a few weeks ago, but this morning as I was brushing my teeth I spotted these beaters heading up the fell so I rushed to the back door ( looking a little rabied), swapped lenses and secured an early blip. I always have the urge to telepathically shush all the birds and tell them to stay still..... early ingrained bambi influence.
