That's my Boy!
Some of you may recall I posted Green 6 with her chick some months ago well this is him now (behind mum) He is now bigger than his mother but still remains quite close to her.

This is the first chance I have had since then to photograph them. They have now been in the same area for several days after flying over the release area where they have joined a group of recently released birds!

Canon 1D MkIII + 300F2.8 + x1.4 iso 800 f6.3 1/200 (very slight crop)
