glad you both like it-you wouldn't want one of these to land on you-they don't though.they steer well clear of people.

ts when people try to handle sick or injured ones that trouble starts

they have big teeth,sharp hooks on the wings and strong sharp claws-tough customers.

Wow, great shot! Tough to nail a dark critter against the sky and see anything, especially in focus. They are really cool animals. I wonder if they would make good pets?

glad you like it-yes hard to expose properly-i used +1EV which worked out to be 1/500th , f5.6 , iso 200

the hard part is focus as I am using manual focus telephotos but my technique is improving-i think a split circle focussing screen is next on my gear list
