Why I don't do bird photography

[Kaouthia]

I'm never lucky enough to get shots like that when I'm out. My dad's been flying birds of prey for ummm... 46 years now.

I remember him once telling me about a Bonelli's Eagle he used to have landing on a young boy's (about 10 years old or so) head at one point. The boy was fine, didn't even break the skin, but mother wasn't best pleased.

A falconer friend of mine who hunts with Goshawks once got nailed on the face by one of them

Goshawks are the most awesome bird to photograph hunting.
