One of my first 7D images; I thought I would share though the hidden tip of the beak lets it down a bit.
I was unable to move left fast enough as he stayed for about 5 seconds lol
We dont see so many of these now and I was lucky to walk into the hide and set up tripod just as it came in.
Lucky you! They usually only stay 3 seconds for me
He is a gorgeous bird Richard. As you mentioned the beak is unfortunate but I am sure you were happy to see this guy. You will see him again and again and eventually you will get the money shot!
