Goshawk with an attitude
Another Goshawk from Finland. This is an adult female, burping after a finished meal... :rolleyes:

1D MarkIII + 500/4, Iso400, shot as vertical, cropped 5% from top and right.

Thanks for your comments guys!

Yes John, I am keeping the good ones for later :biggrin: No really, - I still have only processed about half from my Finland-trip, - so there might still be some decent shots left.... :wavey:

Cheers, Helge

Great looking Goshawk Helge.
Lucky to see one in flight let alone perched in this area.

Hiya Helge
Superb, great pose, and I like the way the background and breast pattern's complimentary colours harmonise too, good work.
