Magnificent Mao !!!

If your Harrier hawks are anything like ours here in N.Z. (ie, very skittery and veer off at the slightest movement or out of place shape or colour) then this shot is even more impressive.

Well done.

Impressive shot with the bird banking showing the wing detail & head turn. love it...

Equally impressive is the fact its a full frame shot and you were able to stay on the bird and maintain a composed shot, while maintaining equal space around the bird, with a pleasing forward looking feel to it...

That's some Great shooting!!!
