Thats a nice picture, like the DOF. Im not too sharp on birds, what is it? Kestrel, Hawk?

Hi Pirate and welcome, that is a well spotted and captured image for a first post . Just gave it a little sharpen for web display, hope thats ok with you?

That's a quite nice shot of a Kestrel - you done well at 300mm focal length and the BG is nicely blurred. I would crop so the bird is not central but looking into space with not much space behind. Keep up the good work

Welcome to TP and thats a good shot to start with. I agree with Richard and Roy above, but apart from that you did good Looking forward to seeing some more shots from you.

Super shot, though I am biased as I love all birds of prey (Raptors). BTW it's a female as well.
