hi folks ... just by luck I stumbled above this bird during a photowalk on Helgoland Island , so this was no set up and I basically tracked the bird down to get closer ... well as close as he let me .
shooting conditions not ideal , all happened quick basically a grab shot .
was not prepared for a flight shot and not quick enough to change the shutter speed , so the image was not 100 % sharp but the focus locked on the head .
finally I was ending up with a ( at least for me ) large crop of taking away 45 % of the original pixels .
Iq held up at least ok , so I thought posting a new bird here to the forum might be a good idea .
