Back from my weekend away and here you have a beauty taken then. Nearly full frame and prepared in a rush I was dying to share! |=)|

I still have something from the Canary Islands to share and now a little bunch of goodies from Extremadura it's great to have "brand new" stuff to post again! o:)

Wow, Marian, such a beauty of a bird! Perfectly caught in that pose, and the bokeh in your bg is superb!

great shot Marian, really love it. especially as these were so very nervous when i went to Extremadura, maybe I'm just making excuses for being too slow...
