My first take off....

[bigpix]

...... up up away, I have only just started to shoot moving birds so I thought I would start with something a bit on the slow side and easy......shot aperture priority, 1250s f8 80-200 Non VR nikon, hand held. These are full frame with no cropping......

thanks Skippy...... I was shooting verticals of said bird when he decided to just take off...... and I just missed the start of the take off which can look rather strange and awkward at times........ will try for a straight on
