Alaska - Bald Eagle

Still playing with textures.

Peregrine Falcon Fledgling

I saw this flying over my garden this afternoon so it was a quick dash inside to get my camera and grab a couple of quick shots before it got too far away.

Kestrel

Red Kite Gigrin Farm Powys Wales

Had the most awesome day at Claire Carter and Hawkeye Bird of Prey Photography Workshop in Thoresby Park. A privilege to get close to such beautiful birds and I learned such a lot about bird photography that I hope I can put in to practice in future. My photos (just a few here out of 100s I took today) are pale imitations of what is achievable but I'm happy with (some of) my efforts with limited kit.

The female is back and I have it good authority that the male is also, although he didn't put in an appearance while I was there. In the bottom image you can see her defensive reaction to an intruder who flew over the nest!!
