On the attack (Falco tinnunculus)

I'd managed to sneak up on this kestrel and was taking some pictures of it when it took off to attack some prey. I just kept my shutter pressed and hoped for the best. The result could have been a bit sharper but I was very pleased regardless.

Wonderful shot, love the sharp eye and the motion blur of the bird. Fine work. :t::t::t:
 
Ooooooooooooooooh!!!! Stunning shot, Adrian, love the blurred wing-tips, makes it as real as to come out of the screen towards me! ;) :clap: :clap:
