Great shot. Had you previously just pressed the shutter to get him/her to look at you? (I find that after a couple of shots they turn round to look in the direction of the camera.)
Think he was looking down his nose at me
Well straight down his pecker at any rate ...
Excellent detail in that one Charlie ...
Really great shot you really nailed the exposure spot on , have to ask what the really dark background is there a wood behind?????
