B.O Fly- By
One from this week, they are not very reliable in the afternoon at the moment; perhaps they have changed their habits and are hunting in the morning. Not being an early riser I will never know.

Hi Bob,

Thats a very nice shot of what looks like a Female to me. Their habits may have changed as at this time of year they will be pairing up and starting to strengthen their bond getting ready to breed.

Thanks for sharing

Regards

Rob

I really like the colours in this. The apparent wonky horizon is a slight nit, and I would blur the grass bottom right, and perhaps a tad more sharpening to make the most of the shallow DoF on the face, but apart from that; great shot.
