Spændende billede der fint viser såvel hale som svingfjersfældning hos en adult Skovpiber.
Mvh.

Mange tak Peter :-)

It is a Formidable photo, CARSTEN!

[ PETER:
Sorry for again being late after
an off-line stay, abroad... ].

The twist of its head and an alert, huge
eye - with glow(!),

Exposed new wing-tip and slightly spread
[in moult, cf. PETER above], aaaalmost
Cisticola-like undertail feathers [ cf.
Roberts, S. Afr., plate 41, 1940 ]

Sharp, contrasting dark spots,

All framed by Illuminated contours, incl.
toe nails (!),

In non-competing surroundings (dark twigs),

- make the inconspicuous Tree Pipit Elegant,
with marked Character and EXPRESSION, and
fine colour shades in the Indirect Light!

It is an ART to display such Qualities in a

picturesque Bee-eater or Lammergeier.

Congratulations with a Rare photo!

Mange tak Carsten - som du da kan sige det :-))
