hi to all i finally uploaded some more shots of a falcon bird that i took at the beach the other day.just like to say thanks to all who replied to my last post "what is this bird "

Wow, they look so good against the lovely blue sky, both of them are excellent but the first one really shows off the hunting skills of the falcon. How it hovers and his eye is always fixed to the target. Great captures and excellent work Kym.

Great shots.
I like the first most.
You just nailed it with that blue sky it really enhances the shot.
