With pix like this I wonder if there will be a shortage of the DA 300?
Keep trying I like to see these little blighters on film. Got a squadron where I live but very camera shy.

An amazing photo. You sure have an eye for photography. Keep at it.

I like it that way - head is sharp, that's the important

Good shot, nicely isolated.

If you don't mind me saying, I think it would look nice tightly cropped, so the tail falls near to the bottom corner and the bird fills the frame a bit more. With this the focus tailing off (excuse the pun) adds to it in my opinion.

The main thing has already been said, the head is sharp, nice 1.
