These guys were nesting in a man-made box, which I am not a fan of including in the image for photography, but from experience with this species I knew I could get in closer and go for tight portraits as they landed on the nest-box's roof before going in to feed the young. Here is one of the more impressive catches I got to photograph! No amount of stopping down would have made the body all within dof, so I went for a good compromise to get the full face of both bird and prey sharp. I was praying for it to swing its' body around to face me, or even better square to the sensor, but it was not to be, at least not with this catch.
