Well done Billy. A bird I've got only very poor shots of.

Thanks for all the comments. I was quite lucky as the bird was visible long before it got close so I had time to line it up. Plus there was plenty of light to enable a fairly high shutter speed.

Just having another look Billy since getting shots myself (at long last my fingers did what my brain was screaming as in press NOW!) This is a stunning image - well done!
