Best I could do :( Shot taken at 7.47am, but into the sun, and the falcon was pretty much in the shade of a tree .... and skitty :(
Oh well, good enough for me :)

I like the first one. Getting them to look in your direction is always nice. Have you done any PP on this shot?

Thanks Phoenix :)
A hell of a lot of PP on this shot !!!! Was taken for identification purposes, so I was walking up the track taking shots as I went, as the bird really was skitty and kept flying off to the next tree...... this is the original unmodified shot, and as you can see, it was crap ;) hence the title of the post - best I could do :)

That's quite a crop that's for sure. But well worth it. I really like bird shots, but it's so hard to get them right. Nice work

Excellent rescue job, but I have to ask.

Don't ever post a shot when you are absolutely buggered :oops:
This is a brown falcon - I'm hanging my head in shame :(
thanks Biggzie :)
