as I was looking at some other birds, but I am happy with these 2, but it pays to watch the bird.....

    Sneaky little things aren't they. I wonder if they feel safer taking off when we aren't looking. Happens to me too! ne_nau.gif

    Nice shots, very hard to get detail in the white too. Nicely done.

    Very nice, you exposures are pretty much on the spot as you have some good feather detail in the shots (I might have tried knocking the exposure down a thrid of a stop).

    The second one is a semi-butt shot but you got the head in the shot. thumb.gif:D

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    You may have missed the takeoff, but what you did get is great. Well done.
