Aai jaai jaai! (That's a commonly used Afrikaans expression)
I think your bird series is going to give your cottage series a serious run for the money.
This is a great boy - fabulous capture of details. I see a strong expression in that eye and that half open beak says "Back off Buster" :-))
Great stuff Chris - more!!!! :-)

Great shot Chris. Birds of prey have that "don't mess with me look" and are all business. I'd hate to be a rodent with one of them around. Well captured. Lou

How on earth did you think of this name? Just joking :) Nice shot! great DOF and focus, maybe here a highlight in the eye would also have helped but not easy to do i know. Best wishes - Neil

Hi Chris, eventhough it's "only" a common buzzard, I think the crop and the close up are fabulous. Very dynamic pose, and a true photogenic creature. Excellent shot. I love these birds of prey. The DOF could've been a tad wider, as the feathers in its neck are already out of focus, but on the other hand, it also introduces a good power to the portrait. Very well captured.
Cheers,
Hugo

Over here they are hawks, our buzzards are very ugly. Great capture, so close. Don.

Hi Chris, I have one very similar to this, but I used a 100mm lens.... didnt fancy getting within a yard or two of the beak and tallons.
Very nice details

Hello Keith,
Thank you for your kind comments!
Actually I made a mistake when loading this up!! Still can't get used to the new menus! This was really taken on full zoom with my 70-300mm lens. I've now changed the picture info.
Thanks again, Chris

Nice capture Chris. I like your composition. The head fills the frame well and the eye on the third. You have had a very productive few days. Regards John
