Does he really speak French? Nice shot Lesley. Oh yes, 30 seconds exposure??

You weren't wearing a furry hat, were you? You were certainly being checked out ;-))
Great stop-action capture, good details on the wings and body, a funny pose and a beautiful blue sky - who could wish for more?

Another great picture Lesley, i wish i had taken it. I have never been lucky enough to get a shot like this.
The hawk is beautiful and his expression is one of indignation at the idea of you taking his picture.
Good note.
Great work as always.

If this shot was taken at 30 seconds, you better send it in to the world record books, :) :) :) for the steadiest hand. :) :)
Would that be F5 at 1/300 or 1/3000

Fantastic capture Lesley. Excellent sharpness and wonderful colours in his plumage - he is a real beauty and well set off against a clear blue sky. I was out there too today and saw buzzard and kestrel but without shooting range:-(. Happy New Year.

Ahhh....a very nice shot with lots of air for the hawk to fly into, thus composition is excellent. The subject is very sharp and the pose is very good; certainly is giving you the eye. I read the comment on the shutter speed, 1/3200 sound much better. A classic shot on that beautiful winter-blue background sky.

I like the way it is looking at you, Lesley.
Your picture is sharp as well for a flight shot. You gave to this raptor all the place it needed for comfortably put a glimpse on you.
A very descriptive post: picture and note.
Thanks a lot.

He was spying out your equipment! I know, I would be doing the same :)

This is a beautiful inflight shot and I like the eye contact a lot. The sharpness is good too.

Excellent work and thanks for posting. May you and your family have a wonderful and prosperous new year.

Amazing look "à toi" Lesley. Probably because it's you; they never look at me that way. Excellent shot with great sky color.
By the way, if it's MOI? his name is: Buse à queue rousse en français.
Cheers!

Pragtig!!!
Just very nice, Lesley, sorry, I missed out on some of your feathered friends latrely.
We also have some kites that are perch hunters. Japie shot a beauiful Black shouldered Kite he will post later, I'm sure.
Best for 2005!
