Wild Female Kestrel

[Malfis]

Taken this morning on The Cotswolds.
She posed nicely for long enough for me to get some shots.
Taken with the Olympus OM1 and 100-400mm with 2x teleconverter.

And a beautiful bird she is too.

PS is that a crop or the whole frame?

PPS handheld?

It’s approximately a 50% crop.
It was handheld - 800mm equivalent to 1600mm full frame.
SS was 1/125th, so quite a testament to Oly stabilisation!
