Taken at the same place that Simon took his. When they land they often go into a few ducking and weaving antics, particularly if another bird is nearby.

Cool pose. Love the raised crest and eye contact. Great job on the bird against the blue sky.

Strikingly beautiful Rob. The angle of the bird with respect to the perch really makes the composition for me.

I love seeing this behavior and pose Rob. Exposure looks good as does your composition.

Well captured - great pose and the techs are spot on. Some of mine were clipped - wished the 500 zoomed as you never quite knew how large in the frame he'd be.

The pose is very interesting and the raised crest adds some drama, I like the comp you used, the nice details and sharpness, well done
