Nicely done Pknight, I have that exact same pose...must be an inherited instinct.:D I do find that the RTH will perch on the wires more than the Rough legged.

Thanks all. This is the closest a RTH has let me get without flying off. (Unless you count the times I haven't had my camera with me, when they will let me walk as close as I want!)

Nice catch of a really good looking RTH! As DavidPhoto said, the contrast actually is quite interesting. Good job PK!
