Birds of Prey

[tomh1982]

Had the chance to photograph some beautiful birds on Sunday. Its not something I've done allot of before but I really enjoyed it & would love to do more. They are Incredible animals & I was really surprised to find out that any old Tom Dick can go & buy one. I would have thought you would need some kind of license but apparently not. Anyway on with the photos.

All taken on my 6D & 100-400L

Fine set.

Some lovely birds and you've framed them nicely.

Nice light in the final Tawny Owl shot.

Good set of nicely presented birds, may I ask where these were taken?

I couldn't resist taking a look at them on your flickr account as resized photos for a forum never do them any justice imho.
A lovely set, all nice and sharp and well framed.
The worse thing about coming back to this hobby is being reminded of taking photos of such lovely birds
