Taken last weekend in the last seconds of light, my 350d just managed to get focused before this male plummeted to the ground. A camera that is hopefully going to be replaced in a few week when I turn 18 :biggrin: No camo or hide just a bit of luck and some trust.

Not sure if the background works so will be interested to know what you all think.

Thanks

1/800s f/6.3 ISO200 400mm monopod

Been after these for a while locally - if I got anywhere near as good an image as this I'd be very pleased. Nice shot.

Cheers,
Chris
