Taken last week in the last of the evening sun.

500f4 without the TC this time. My 5th keeper with my new glass, I wish we could get light like this more often! One of the many downsides of the UK ;).

It's an excellent keeper. :)

The problem with long lenses is the light they need to take good pictures with them. Dust off that Speedlite and give it a try. You'll be surprised how far out you can shoot with it. ;)

Beautiful shot. I like how you composed it for the tail to point directly to the bottom corner.
