Number 2 from my trip to Austria.
This is a 6MP crop from the original 18MP.
EOS 7D, 4/500, ISO 400, f5.0, 1/2000, hand held, manual exposure, Zone AF with central 9 (if I remember correctly)
There were several pairs of those little raptors but most were already breading. One pair was still displaying and they showed no fear and were often flying only 20-40 meters above us.
We shot during the early morning so that the sun would light up the birds from below. In that shot, the little falcon had exactly the wing and tail pose I wanted.
Hope you like it.,
Markus
