Hallo Peter
Another technique I would like to accomplish one day. I admire the photographers that are able to take a successful bird in flight photo. Absolutely stunning! This Hawk's feathers looks as if they are woven. The detail is remarkable. The clear blue sky is a lovely background for this dark coloured bird. It is a majestic bird with massive and impressive feathers. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna

Fine in-flight of a Black-collard Hawk with excellent light management against a blue sky. Good sharpness and composition too.
Thanks for sharing this one,

Hi Peter,

What intricate details you have captured in the wings and plummage of this hawk! Wonderful shot - you have frozen the flapping wings perfectly. Beautiful against the perfect blue sky.

Hallo Peter,

Mooi plaatje! De doortekening aan de onderkant van de vleugels is schitterend. Heb deze soort nog nooit gezien.
De egaal blauwe achtergrond past mooi bij het geheel.

groet,
Zeno.

Hi Peter,
Bookmarking because I don't have the time to do the ID. I can say that it is not a juvenile B. nigricollis, which has a white throat and an overall color scheme of dirty white and buff markings, etc., not this white with bluish-black markings.

Will come back for this.

EDIT: Final ID - Buteo albicaudatus (White-tailed Hawk), a juvenile.

Hello Peter
I am a big fan of raptors and have had little success in capturing them to the level you have here..You have got a lovely view with fantastic markings.
