One of the benefits of my camera lens combination is its "throw-about" qualities, my husband claims this is why I got this image, I think it was down to reaction speed sad

That'll teach Ken to hog the fancy equipment, Helena. Nice flight shot and an unusual species for a flight shot. The red around the eye really pops. You might try dodging the eye itself to see if you like it a little brighter-I know it wouldn't be "natural", but sometimes it comes across a bit better that way for birds that have deep set eyes.
