I would say though, you might want to find somewhere to send this as it's an outstanding shot showing behaviour in birds we don't often get to see (like going to the bar to get the drinks in )
Wildlife and twitcher magazines would probably rip your arms off!
I was sitting looking out the french windows building a Cuprinol fence sprayer (great toy btw) when the hawk/dove hit the patio in a mess of feathers . After a bit of start I got up and legged it to get the camera , when I got back it had gone so back to building the sprayer...
Finished the sprayer so went out onto the patio only to hear all the local birds making their alarm calls. Looked around expecting to see the neighbours cat only to find the Hawk eating at the side of the garden about 15m away, so back in for the camera....
Camera set to 1/320tv and ISO400 and I wriggled out the door on my belly and slid under the patio furniture . The hawk kept looking at me (I've heard they have good eyesight...) but didn't seem that bothered, so I got up and walked slowly towards it, edging to the right to get better light all the time snapping away.
Still it didn't move..
So I sat down & just watched it have lunch .
It was absolutely ******** brilliant
