Jim:

Very nice to capture her out in the open. Not the easiest bird to get a clean shot at.

Nice wing position, angle in frame. I might be tempted to town down the jumble of branches in the background. They are light enough to detract from the bird.

Cheers

Great in flight capture. Good exposure and sharp detail. Top shot

Well captured Jim - not a species one often sees in flight, or should I say able to capture in flight as you have done. With that expression, the WP sure seems to be on a mission.

Sharp as can be; the usual Neiger magic. Was anything done to attract the bird to your position?

I used a recording of a PW.
