I like it, is that flash i can see in the eye as higlight??
if so how do you get that without scaring off the subject

No didn’t use flash, but i often do, you just gotta take the chance sometimes and hope you get it, quiet often the bird will stand for a few flashes before flying into a tree :)
I used my 20D with 100-400 L lens at 400mm f5.6, 1/60sec, ISO400, Raw format and did a slight crop.
Fired off a whole 1GB card, got alot of blurred shots too. But i have 4 good shot converted to TIFF now and i’m happy with them.
Had to stop by and say hello.
Very very nice. Great capture!
Love the colours and the DOF (don’t I really sound like i know what I’m on about!).
Teeeheee.
I find this a tough bird to shoot. There’s always some on the rocks near the birdge in Newbridge in the morning but it’s damn near impossible to expose right for the dark brown and the white. That makes this shot all the more impressive for me.
