A good photo for identification purposes that shows off the bird really well. But from an artistic point of view the crop is a bit tight and the image lacks excitement.

A really nice exposure Ken. Did you need the 1/5000s for the vehicle movement?

Thanks everybody, I agree that it is not overly exciting but it is "pretty"?
Ron,
My settings were still where they were from trying to get some running Patas Monkeys, plus I always like a fast shutter speed when hand-holding the 500, bit too much really
