[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Sitting in the garden last night this little beauty flew over. These are migratory birds that catch insects on the wing. I dedicate this one to my children who used to take the mickey out of me when I said "look, there goes a bee eater" and they were always too slow to see it!

Hi Les,
Nice shot, it's a shame about the noise, I have done a Workshop for you, the file size is a little low and that wont help, try to keep as close to the 200kb limit as possible, Besides the noise it's a goo shot with nice colours and details.
Regards ANdy

Hi Dad,

Good shot, not an easy one to get I imagine. It was'nt that we were to slow to see the beeaters when we were kids, more the fact that pretty much every bird we saw you told us was a Beeater.

Cheers
Tom

Hiya Les

A bit grainy but a nicely balanced image with good colour.. I smiled when I read your note as when my two lads where young and irritated i used to tell them I could see a "Distraction" at the end of the garden.. then while spending a long time peering out of the window a long conversation would ensue as to what exactly a "Distraction" looked like lol

TFS kind regards Helen

Hi Les,
Altough a lot of noise still an interesting image. When using Neat Image it's quite easy to get rid of this noise. Also a tighter crop will improve the presentation. Anyway a fine picture but improvement is necessary.
