It's the excellent lighting that makes these, although the low viewpoint is interesting as well. I'm assuming some fairly heavy shadow lifting went on ... ? In any case there's no ill effects. The backlighting through the wingtips is very nice ... Thanks for showing us!

Hi Alan, Is this the early morning light at play? I've rarely captured birds so well lit. I think you need to run a school for some of us.

I did have the K5iis, DA*300 and 1.4xTC with me too, which is much easier to handhold. Being mobile, I managed to get a few Kestrel shots. I thought I'd share. In the third one, its carrying a stone.
