Hi There
Its been a while since i posted any of my bird in flight shots so i thought i would share a couple of pictures taken today.
I was invited on a visit to a Falconer and his birds of prey collection and myself and a small band of photographers were treated to our own private flying display.
There were various birds on show both tethered and free flying but i post below 2 portrait shots of a male Barn Owl and 2 in flight shots of the Peregrine.
I was particularly pleased with the Peregrine shots as getting sharp focused shots of it banking and stooping has always been a real challenge.
Tech detail for each shot shown above it
Comments and Critiques as always welcome
