very nice set

Awesome, that's some look he's giving you in the 3rd. It's a very active hide with lots of different species, mammals too. I only saw the male once for about 3 seconds on my visit there last March but the female was pretty active, as well as a kestrel.

Lovely set!

Mind me asking what aperture Mike? The backgound is lovely and mushy.

Thanks Mike, the BGs are very well handled. Sounds like you had typical Scottish lighting from those settings.

A lovely set of a lovely bird.
