A visitor to our garden today.

A good spot by my dear wife in the garden.

Hidden behind a tree to start with but after about 15 mins of watching he/she was obliging enough to move to a better location

A little soft even after sharpening but i was at 140th at f6.3 and ISO3200

Great piccy

Just looking at those talons I can see why they pick birds out of the sky with ease.

Taken on my Sigma 150-500mm at 500mm.

On my Nikon D300 with it's "C" sized sensor i guess it makes it about 750mm with the magnification effect. 20feet away and i still cropped about 2inches from each side!!!!
