Both are beautiful shots! I really like both of them. Ghat sure is a popular wire! LOL

All wires look the same, Carol Thanks for commenting.

I think I saw a Harrier, but I was riding my horse at the time!

You don't carry your camera when you're riding? I felt like I was on a horse that day it was so windy!

Nice ones Ian.

Waiting until you catch a hawk flying into the wind to get an IF image......Ian, that's just cheating!
He is a gorgeous gray raptor though isn't he, and your capture doesn't really show any overt signs of the wind. The Kingbird, however, has that windblown appearance based on his crest. He too is one of my favorites of the flycatcher persuasion.

Ha, you're right, Steve the wind helped hold him up in a few spots so I could catch up with him. He really stood out aganst the green fields and trees, so the AF was also able to catch up quicker.

Well done Ian. Stunning shot of this beautiful bird.

Beautiful shot of the 'Harrier' Ian! I've only seen one around here & that was a few years back. Kingbird is great too!!
