Magnificent
A magnificent bird indeed. This was my only close view this year but boy did he fill the frame, he was struggling through a headwind and it look real hard work.

I really did take advantage and after this he came in to close for me to be able to shoot!!!

All said the weather was atrocious that day, but I was so glad :t:

Beautiful picture! Also interesting because it looks like a very young bird, there must be a breeding colony somewhere not too far away.

Cheers
