Thank you alan, luckily it flew along the hedge towards us which gave us more time to focus.

Congratulations Wayne. The relatively small size of these birds compared to a goose, heron, etc and the speed these go at make it a very impressive capture indeed. I take my hat off to you. The angle it was at can't have left you any room for margin with the focus either. Excellent mate.
