D2x, 300mm 2.8 AFS + 1.4 conv.
Slight crop.
Bean bag from the car.
This is one of the three taken earlier.
Now well and truly grown up.
Running about the straw bales and flapping wings.
One out of the three did take off yesterday.

You have a way of finding birds in fantastic locations, amazing shot, perhaps a touch more colour.

Lovely sharp image. Love the texture of the shot.

Certainly a wealth of texture and detail for the eye to explore,after admiring the beautiful bird of course.
I like the split of horizontal and vertical straw. :smile:
