Not much going on around my local patch, but this guy has taken up residence in a small paddock just down the road.

Nikon 200-400mm
800th sec

I like the point of view here. Lovely flight shot with a very nice background.

Opportunity well taken and better than the flight shots that I got which are now in the bin..! Note to self 'Practise more inflight shots'..!

You did well to keep it all in the frame and the comp is great.

Ps. At least my DBs (all 3) are a little more inconspicuous and not right above the birds head..! LOL.

Nice one Tony.... for some reason everyone is getting images and I'm not at the moment

For me I might have liked some more room in front but that is a personal preference... nearly full frame, I am a little in awe.....

A cracking shot, but for my taste a little large in the frame.

Good detail of a bird I have yet to see.

Nice one, Tony.

Super stuff Tony! Agree with regard to it being a tad large in the frame, but that is only minor....great detail and viewpoint, good b/g too.
