Hello again all, Having posted a couple of threads already from my day out at the Falconry centre, here's a final instalment of a few randoms. I ended up with hundreds of pics from the day a couple of weeks ago, with a fair bit of processing to be done, but helpfully the weather has been dire ever since so have not taken too many more pics and added to my backlog...

1. Fluffy... (K5 with DA* 300)

2. Hunkered... (K5 with DA* 300)

3. On final approach (K7 and 16-50 at about 35mm I think)

4. Bald Eagle outbound...

5. ...and inbound (with Talons!)

Hope you like these. Any C&C welcome, and as ever there are more pics on my flickr stream. Except where I have specifically noted it, these were taken with the K5 and the sigma 100-300 f4 (from memory). As luck would have it I got a gift of an 'experience' day this week too - falconry!

Cheers

What a great set of pictures ... First one is my favourite, the B&W conversion is first class.
