    Another pre-attacking pose from this guy before he turned back and 'dive bombed' me. They had chicks in the area, and he wasnt keen on me walking in his territory. Taken late afternoon.

    Hi Stuart I like your series with this guy. He seems to be letting you know whats coming. Like the detail, calling posture and eye contact.

    Nice colors on this Stuart. Wing position and calling pose are nice. Exposed well and good sharpness. Well done.
