Thanks Graham, I'm just the one who pressed the button, the sun and the glaciers did most of the work! After the volcano's of course! LOL It's a fair drag for you, must be best part of 700 miles each way? I did 1,150 miles over five nights, add 600 to get up here, that's roughly 1700? Just keep a close check on the weather forecasts and grab a week, it's well worth it. There are plenty of places to pull in with a camper. The forecasts are pretty accurate nowadays. They were spot on last week. Take a look at my Skye thread, should be something there to wet your appetite...

The photographer needs to be there to take the image but also to capture it so it can be reproduced correctly which may or may not need some Photoshop to get it accurately, or not so accurately represented!!

It's often about catching the moment, like the Kingfisher shot, rapid shutter rate can't always do that, unless it's silly fast, which requires an electronic shutter. Electronic shutters have their own issues, like restricting AF and EV ranges. Then there is composition, rank stupidity and fine tuning, choosing the ideal camera position frequently isn't an option. Probably the biggest factor, apart from the quality of the light is the direction of the light. I have to say I think the camera can help too, since the D3, I feel I am getting more keepers and better results, I always felt restricted with DX and still do now when I use the D300S or the D200IR even though the pixel count/file size is very similar.

I agree Meadow Pipit looks very close. I must catch up and do some more bird photography have been too busy with my Ravenglass film. Have high hopes: will be in Spain all of next month ferry from Portsmouth to Santander then drive down slowly to the rented villa in Ronda.

Yes, thanks for the confirmation, it does resemble the Meadow Pipit very closely. Seems to be fairly common.
