A really cool shrike species Ken. Love the comp. The bird's eye is a bit soft in the larger version

Good shot of this mean looking customer Ken. Looks like a cross between a cuckoo and a shrike. Does seem a tiny bit soft on the eye but does not spoil the shot.

Very cool bird Ken. I agree with the comments concerning the eye but a nice capture regardless.

Thanks very much for your comments, I agree that it is not as sharp as it should be, the crop is just to excessive, I needed an 800mm
