couldn't help the "burn" coz it was a bright day & with such white plumage couldn't cut out too much light otherwise would have lost the other colouring - Focal Length: 135mm - 1/400 sec - F/6.3

Thanks ob....., have to get close, would like to get a longer lens, but can't afford one at the moment.......had to zoom out on this one coz trying to get the eye centre frame......, was there again from 5:30am to try & get without the "burn", but seem to be much more alert & as soon as I moved the lens even slightly was away - stayed 2 hours without taking a single picture...., sigh, there's always tomorrow
