I seen better pictures of this species, but hey! this one is mine...:D
Jokes aside, I was able to get few more pics, but never without some partial shadows.
Beautiful bird to watch.

Great eye contact and BG. Too bad about the shadow cast over the head.

Raul, Really nice image, the BG is lovely and the wing position and HA are great!!

[Graham Smith.]

very nice. Great BG and sharpness. As Alfred mentioned, the shadow is unfortunate.

[Jasper Doest]

Lovely birds indeed....too bad about the shadow...it kind of ruins the photograph. I don't know if the bird is there more often, but it would be worth to try it again at a different time of day or under more overcast situations.

Wow, lucky you!!! I've seen him too far for pictures, maybe next time I'll be lucky.

Maybe some Shadow/Highlight could help?

[Doug Brown]

These are difficult birds to locate. Hopefully, now that you've found him, he'll hang around long enough for you to get another crack at him. Nice sharpness and eye contact. Too bad about the shadow.

Hi Raul,

This is very nice. You were able to pull some nice details in the eyes. I don't have a problem with the shadow!
