thanks John and James stan

thanks for looking Carl, I was beginning to wonder if the were crap shots with no comments in 4 days Stan

A lot more of these than usual at Bempton and I think they are a much more interesting colour than the mostly white with black wingtips of the mature adult birds and of course much easier to meter for. These are likely to be late year 3 to early year 4 birds Stan 1/2000, f8, ISO 400, 70-200...

thanks Wez yes, shot in the middle of the day so very bright light but thats how it is for most of the day over there Stan

Due to loss of habitat there are few places to spot these very confiding birds. This one landed by the car as we were about to leave the location and I only had my 24-105 lens on the camera. No problem though as he stayed very close, full frame at less than 2 metres Stan

but unfortunately little detail :D:D:D
