Grey Wagtail feeding Young

I watched a Grey Wagtail (Motacilla cinerea) catching insects and feeding it’s young on the bank of the River Wensum at Sweet Briar Marshes, Norwich. I noticed one of the fledglings repeatedly landing on this exposed tree root at the edge of the river. By making itself more accessible to the adult it gained an advantage over its siblings by getting more regular feeds. By applying negative exposure compensation I was able to correctly expose the image and isolate the subjects from the background.
