For me the most important part in a picture is the background. you can have the most beautiful bird , mammal in the world. if the background to your picture is poor. the picture will be poor. It is not always possible of course. But I always try to have a clean background……I was near water. birds were coming to drink. I was lucky to have buttercups in the background. Jackdaw, Rook mistle thrush, woodpigeon, stock dove. pied wagtail ….
