Nice

Were you close with a big lens or something - seems a really shallow DoF

Very nice pic Namllihs ! Only comment would be the catch-light/s in its eye ... a little too much/many making it slightly distracting ! Nevertheless a great take on a fantastic bird ! (Except they eat snakes and lizards !)
