Another shot from my trip down to Somerset (a county in south west England). These are fairly common hawks in the area, and one of the smallest too.

I had about 10 shots at him, the other 9 really didn't work but was very pleased with this one.

500F4+ 1.4X TC. (probably my last bird shot I'm gonna post for a few months, til I go on holiday somewhere;))

WOW! Top class in flight shot! Perfect exposure and love how well-lit the underwing is. The timing couldn't be better. Nice job Seany.

Thanks Rob, Reyno, Pete, Trace, Alex, Karren, Snappa, Fee, YLnad, Mitch, Dennis. All your comments are much appreciated. I'm still learning how to handle this lens, but when I get shots like this, I'm glad I splashed out on it.
