Great stuff John!

I like how you have included the landscape in this one!
I do feel it could use a bit of CCW rotation judging from the horizon.

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel

John,

all these are fantastic shots, I like the way he seems to be glancing at you in passing in this shot. I see Jeroen's point but horizon looks ok for me as the back of the bird appears horizontal. Are these wild or captive? if wild are they being fed at a station or regular food drops?

Cheers

John

Hi Folks thanks for your comments. John this is a Wild Bird and for some shots I used bait. I was only there a week and to my knowledge it had not been baited before. :toast:
