looked at the pic above and realised that I had really ****ed up the white balance in p.p .. I suppose this boils down to changing cameras , not trusting the w/b on them and altering it without need .. I do see where graham is coming from with the rendering of the w/b .. hope this now rectifies it a bit .. shows we are never to old to learn .. both shots taken within a second or two of each other . and teaches me to trust the camera more and not photoshops rendering of it ..

Whilst the first one may be slightly over warm, it depends what time of day and year as to how warm the camera captures the scene. 

Backing off the wb, as you have done. makes the bird more pristine but I think it's a little bit cold/blue.

Either way both lovely photos, well done.

This is the best purple sandpiper I've got (unedited straight out of camera).....

This bird watching and photography can be a frustrating pastime.

Mike (of RSPB Frampton fame) and I were in Alsace in September. In Munster, we were after the storks that nest on the rooftops. Even an experienced birder can miss the obvious.....

Very good Jeff, those claws tell a story,  some grip there.

Does it announce it's presence with a little drilling?  The one near here lands on a tall telegraph pole and it's rattle, rattle, rattle! Very loud, everybody knows it's there.

Nice one Jeff shame about end of tail but you are doing great with colour balance now! This is a male GS Woodpecker from my Scotish trip, quite a big blow up from the D500 with 500mm lens ISO 1250 1/250 sec at f10.
