Thank you, I got a great sequence from the Fox first running, to him backing off with the mouthful of feathers ... it made several editions of the UK national press :)

Daily Mail
You must have the patience of a saint to sit long enough to capture that, you deserve your headlines, it truly is a great capture.
Incidentally, did you get paid by the press? It would be great to get paid but I would be equally happy just with seeing my pictures in a national publication.

Spending time waiting for and watching wildlife is a joy for me, I've missed it terribly during extended lockdown.
There was a payout of £xxxx which I was very happy about.
Parts of the series appeared in The Times, The Daily Mail, The Telegraph & The Mirror (UK) but the photos eventually appeared in various online sites worldwide, (which I didn't get paid for!).

A rare visitor to the UK, a Stork spends some time on the chimney of the original home of Sir Peter Scott at WWT Slimbridge, Gloucestershire, UK.

A Bit of Information about this Stork.
A rare visitor? That's a pity. Numbers are rising in the NL. They used to be a rare sight too. Nowadays it is not uncommon to see a group(flock, herd etc) roaming a field hunting for mice, frogs. A great sight.
