1d2n, 600mm f4 is x1.4 tc, 1/320s, f6.3, iso 640. Setting sun. Background is autumn grass on distant hill. Moderate crop.

This is a few frames after my last post. Thanks for all the comments on that one by the way - hope it raised a laugh. He (she?) stared at me for a few second as if to scold me for watching him eat, then flew off. We were both happy.
