These have to be one of the most beautiful of raptors (in my opinion anyhow). Their eyes, when they catch the light, are just astonishing.

Hope you like.

(Composition could be better - I hold my hand up on that. Do have a number of shots still to go through...).

What a great look. Awesome bird, beautifully captured. Crop might be a bit tight but the exposure is perfect. I wouldn't subtract any points for the crop, another wish-it-was-mine from me. :)

Great shot, Andrew. This bird is equivalent to our white-tailed kite, one of my favorites, which I have no images. Well captured.
