Sometimes we miss the bigger picture .....

With our use of '' long lenses'' and desire for close up images of our target birds.

I think that this image conveys quite a lot.

A Moorhen in a classic reed bed habitat, great light reflecting a blue sky on the surface of the water and a relatively calm windless day.

One of the main reasons we pursue this hobby of ours, is getting away from our daily pressures and enjoying intimate moments in our countryside no matter which country we call home.
