Yes
Not as good as the ones posted earlier by Fungus, but the best I could get earlier today when it clouded over :( ...

I do like the third picture :) but as you say the weather has hindered here. What lens & exposure etc did you use?
 
Thanks Jase. They were all taken wide open with the Canon 300mm f/4L IS at speeds between 1/160 and 1/320, hand held. The sun was out earlier in the day, but of course went behind the clouds as soon as I wanted to take some pics!
 
The first one is pretty much there. It is a shame about the lighting. I was really lucky that it was a bright clear day and the sun was low in the sky.
 
The first two look a little soft to me but nothing that some USM could not fix. The third one has been captured spot on with a great angle, perfect focus and good DOF. If you could bring out the catch light in its eye slightly more, this would make a great photograph.
