Default The Birds....(part III) last one!



this isn't anywhere near as sharp as I would have liked, but I adore the shape of the bird.

Chalkie, I've really enjoyed your birds series. The first one is positively stunning! I've enjoyed seeing all of them, since I never get to see them this close up in person.

Thanks for taking the time to comment guys. This is the first time I've done a bird of prey shoot and it certainly won't be the last. 6hrs and loved every moment of it...I now want to go back again and try to nail the flight shots!
