Beautiful done.

[Tony Whitehead]

Well caught, Marietjie. I love the BG and simple perch. Lovely sharp focus on head with prey. A little NR on the slight underwing noise may be worth a try.

[Fabs Forns]

Very dainty and lovely as presented, except for the noise mentioned by Tony and Shame the wings were not totally up.

[Fernando Cerra]
