Thanks
I only had around a 2 seconds then it dived and was gone. Took around 5 frames, this was the best one of the bunch.

I am so in awe of those of you who photograph birds. Just something I've never had the talent to do.

Take it you know that because she is a tame/falconer's bird ... :shrug:

Still a super image though PL ... :thumbs: ... spot on in most respects except I might be tempted to have a go at cloning out the jesses ... ;)


Is that straight out the gear or have you cropped much ... :thinking:

Ye she is a team kestrel, the guy said she was 2 or 3 cant remember. He chuched it up in the air and she started to hover for a second and then down to the ground.

Tame bird or not, that's a great shot and much better than anything I've ever managed to achieve.
