I was framing up the tree stump against a late afternoon sky when this Magpie family had a bit of a squabble and started scooting round the sky like it was an air show. I took a lot of shots in those two minutes trying to get something like this, trying to keep the stump in the frame while keeping my attention on the birds. :) It only takes one shot for it to be worthwhile and this is it.

Enjoy.

Mikel.

No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
