Three amazing images Colin, for me the third one is outstanding.

I'm not really a bird guy but your title got my interest and the opening shot I thought was stunning with a stormy clouds in the back ground for me making a lot more interesting than just another bird photo ( sorry guys) but then you add another 2 and the last is stunning work

All you need to do now is work on your composite skills and put a little bird there ready for him to grab :)

He, he, nice thought, but I think that might put me on the naughty step with my fellow wildlife photographers.

I've been placing road kill out in the hope of getting pictures of predators locally, not worked yet, but I'm after wild animals. I do like that last shot also.

Re: Locked on Target

The one you caught in the Snow is amazing , it`s definitely one of those " Wish I had taken that " . Ones .
Going back to what you said earlier , I think it`s quite relevant how our images were taken , knowing this was a captive bird has not made it any less impressive , but would it of been more impressive if we knew it was a wild bird ? Most definitely yes . I am nuts about Fallow Deer , and I am fairly convinced I can often tell a photo of a Deer taken in the wild , to that of one taken in a park , regardless how big the park is , the animals in it are still captive , how big is a fence before it`s not classed as a cage ? I am personally much more satisfied and impressed by decent photos of wild Deer than I am captive ones . That`s not to take anything away from your photo , captive or not , I doubt I could of made such a magnificent photo of it as you have here , but the skill place and time it takes to capture wildlife is relevant to my mind .
