Save the environment from these predators, all pigeons must be saved, Greta
Great capture, had an experience similar before, but no camera, the mid air crack was frightfully loud as the sparrow Hawk took out a young dove above my head.

Super picture. That's one to treasure.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
