Nice picture and beautiful bird. I want to see one for myself, too bad we don't have them in the states! ....Great Job!
 
Cheers :)

We're only just getting them back here in Rutland. Those tags on the wings mark this one as part of the re-introduction program around here. It's really nice to see them hunting over the back garden :)
 
Very well handled with the exposure getting so much detail below and all so sharp and clear.
 
Cheers :)

I had enough time to take over 100 shots that day, about 15 were useable! Shutter speeds went as low as 1/320s as I tried to pan smoothly and expose properly!
