A cracking shot that would be even better at the permitted 720 rather than 500. Looks like great definition in the bird and a brilliant point of view.

I agree I'd like to see this a bit larger. Looks a bit light on my monitor, particularly the background, but very well taken otherwise.

A good capture Andy,

I like the overall view of the bird and the background

Repost has addressed the comments very well indeed. A wee bit small in the frame for me and I would love to see a close up of this beauty.

Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated. I have a few more framed tighter but this shot is already a heavy crop, i think a D300 or 1.4 TC would be perfect for these fine birds
