Buzzard
This is the initial approach when he tried to grab the pigeon and fly off with it. Then ripped the head off and ate that first.
Same techs as other pic.
Thanks for your comments on that one.
Cheers

Love the open wings John, always appealed to me like that. Not sure about the dodgy cloning though

I prefered your first post John. The dissappearing leg puts me off this one a bit. Nice wing spread though and a good expression.

Thanks both.

Maggies again ?

Thought I'd mentioned it but that was the first one. They're a pain with this sort of stuff.

Great image JR love the open wings and the foot reaching out for the pigeon.

Another good capture, I'm looking forward to a 3D version, you did do one ? ;-) ;-)

You won't believe this -I tried as the bird would stay still for ages at timers. Just one problem- moving magpies all the time.
Even tried video and couldn't find the button !! (Read the book dummy )

As a matter of interest I agree with lawrence. I don't particularly like this one, more of a record shot. I actually binned it once then un binned it !

Lovely image, I really like the pose and beautiful wings the leg or lack of does not bother me as he seems to be grabbing the food , great behaviour
