First Lizard of 2008 SHAME...................
.............the Kestrel saw it first.
How this bird saw the Lizard through long grass from at least 60 yards.........
Just over 50% of the frame otherwise the Lizard doesnt show up too well.

Nikon D300
Nikon 300mm AFSII f2.8 plus 1.7TC

Excellent capture. I wouldn't have thought a kestrel would have been quick enough. I don't think I have ever seen one with a lizard before.

The poor lizard was probably still getting it's engine warmed up when Kes pounced :wink:

Nice work.
