I am green with envy Linda, this is a super shot. I think you must have a pair of trained Kestrels to get this close. 🙂
Terrific Shot Linda –
Thanks. Gerryatrick they are far from trained, if they were I would have kept them on the tree longer to get better photos
A rather nicely captured opportune moment Linda.
This is a cracking shot, how lucky to get this close, like Gerry I am envious!
Super shot
About 4 years ago I went for a long walk on the edge of some woods and sat on some large rocks. I was planning my images, setting manual exposure and suddenly looked up to see 2 Sparrow Hawks doing what I termed a waltz in mid air and at such great speed. They made lots of squeaky noises and carried on for some time. Were they too fast to capture?? Yes, no images but will never forget.
Your image brought that memory back and I know how you must of felt when you successfully captured this powerful shot. A David Attenborough Award on this one.
