Pity about the Chicken wire but still a nice shot of a beautiful bird

Great natural shot of a beautiful raptor... ... and superb eye sharpness too...


I would have said it was probably the male of the species though as the female tends to be brown grey rather than blue grey as here... :shrug: ... unless it's in your processing...
