Another first sighting for me, unfortunately a bit too far away, this is one of my "safety" shots, as it flew off during our attempts to get closer

I've taken many, many "safety" shots. This one looks much better than mine. Good detail.

From your description of the situation, this is a fairly large crop. It seems to have held up very well. Detail in the larger version is still quite good. A nice pose and wonderful light.

This resemble our Chukar in North America Ken. Love the colors and low angle. The Chukars here also fly off when trying to get close...

Very good detail on the larger image Ken. Sweet light on this one as well. The look says I'm out of here as soon as this guy gets my picture. :) Neat looking bird Ken!
