Worms for tea !.
I spent an hour or so last evening watching this kestrel hunting, not from the hover but a perch. Unfortunately for me it never came close enough for any thing other that this but at least I could then see what it was feeding on, lob worms. It made about half a dozen flights and each time took off with a worm. This crop is about 20% of the full frame so it’s noisy to say the least. Nice way to spend an evening though.

1D mk 3,600mm,1/000@f/5, ISO800 , car window.

Bob.

Shame it's noisy, and a tad central.

Look forward to seeing some when he does get closer to you .... :toast:

Nice flight shot all the same Bob. Must be hard work using a 3,600mm lens? :biggrin:

I must admit I would have preferred a photo of the lug worm. :razz: :smile: :wink: Nice to see nonethless. Good capture.

Well, noisy or not, I'd be very very pleased with that, and you should be too. :smile:

Like the composition, Bob, just a pity you've had to crop it so much. :smile:

Looks ok to me. I would have left it uncropped myself.
