1D Mk iv, 600mm f4, 1/80s, f6.3, iso 800.

From this afternoon. She landed within a minute of my settling in the hide, just before the light became impossible.

Superb image Ian, perch and background compliment each other and the bird is tack sharp. Wish I could entice them to my garden set-up!

Superb shot, Ian. Can't really add to what has already been said, it's right on the money as far as GSW shots go
