Nice shot.

Hadn't seen this before posting mine.

I like the comp' and can't fault it.

Looks like nice shiney new fencing.

Two nice shots and for me the ARD is just that bit more pleasing. I'd still be more than happy to have shot this one Anthony. Some might not like the 'new fencing' and the barbed wire but then that is exactly what these birds use so for me that is its environment.

Wonderful pose and detail!
Wish we had these hunting during the day over here...

That's a very nice shot , its good to see a side view that shows the wonderful marking so well.

Out of the two this one pips it for me. Great eye contact and the barbed wire is fine - just where you see them these days (but the pair I watched last night resolutely resisted landing on a post within sight!) :smile:
