I wonder if you could help me with a crop suggestion, coz I keep getting it wrong.

On another note......,

There was I snapping away happily from my hide, when the owner of the land I was on turned up. Thought the polite thing to do was introduce myself & ask if ok to take photos (albeit after the event).
He was staring in my direction, so I gently pulled the hide material off myself............ & nothing...., he just kept staring past me.
So I said hello........ nothing. He just kept staring over my head.
So I said hello a bit louder & in Chinese. He suddenly focused on me 10' away from him & in Khaki apparel.
Poor chap leapt out of his skin!!!!! I swear his shoes & clothes stayed where they were, but he had an out of body experience about 2' in the air.
Anyway he saw the funny side & let me stay.

Nice shot! I wish for some more room to the left but if you don't have it then I would just crop off as much as space from the right as possible.

Looks like you were really close to this guy.

Thanks for sharing.

Great story and a fine image of this bird. Wish the stick wasn't there below it's bill.
