Buzzard Head On (c)

Taken today during a full on training session with one of the Buzzards who we call Pringle. The bird is not wearing jesses or anklets because we are now training some of them to fly without them, this creates more grey hairs for me but it helps minimise the use of photoshop by taking them off.

This image is very close to full frame with a minute crop to frame.

Trying to get this shot full frame & fully focused is so hard, anyway, this is today's attempt for which I am pretty pleased with.

Thanks for looking, any comments appreciated.

I can imagine you're pleased with it. I also would be pleased. Great flight shot. Good eye contact and I bet it is sharp even on a poster.

This brings back memories Vince

A super image, looks like Pringle is learning fast. Well done.

Fran

superb symmetry on the face, just feel those eyes boring into you

Hi Vince,

Great shot and very hard to get when they are flying towards you (i know by experience now..).
So well done and i like the chosen composition.

Thanks again for last week and i am still enjoying all the images we shot at your centre!
Keep up your good work and hope to see you soon!

Greetings,
