Glad you got one Gus !!!!! Tough birds to get doing something with the wings !!! Nearly got it out in the open

Did well with the exposure and kept the focus point around the head area Love the foot action !!!! Only a cleaner bg would have given you a better image !!!! Excellent Gus Proud of you !!!!!
