Eurasian hobby

[grumpybadger]

Another captive one, this time a Eurasian Hobby.

Rare in captivity, this is the first time I've had the chance to photograph this bird. Very harsh light that day so he's placed under a tree in shadow, both for his own comfort and the picture.



EOS-1Ds MkII, EF500 f/4L IS, tripod, gimbal head

Thanks for looking
