Another Pale Chanting Goshawk
Just like buses - you don't see one for ages and then two come along at once! After saying I wouldn't bother in my comment to John Chapmans post I decided I couldn't resist it!

Taken in September at Samburu GR Kenya. ISO was at 400 as this was taken quite early in the morning and despite the nice blue sky it was quite difficult to get a reasonable shutter speed at less. Also quite a hefty crop of the original - about half I would guess.

as ever C&C welcomed

Techs
Canon 20D
300 F4LUIS + 1.4x
iso 400
1/500th @ f8 -2/3

Really like the colours in this Dennis, the colourful legs and beak really stand out and catch my eye :smile:
