Extraordinary detail in this "rapturous" shot. A magnificent specimen bristling with menace but filled with grace and energy. Like.

Thank you for the kind words and a not so kind pun...

I guess not too shabby... for a thirty seven year old, manual focus piece of Pentax glass.

Lady Kerrowdown has a penchant for such things, this is a Peregrine Falcon (Hybrid).

The bird is free flying and following a lure which the Falconer spins around. After several passes the bird is allowed to catch the lure, which it then immediately takes to ground to eat its "kill"... this is the moment when I take the image.

You actually see the lure, bell and other Falconry bits attached to the leg.
