I photographed this beauty in the Netherlands. this is a rare bird to see here, even rarer to photograph. The bird came closer than 6 feet, even to close to photograph.
I was very happy to be able to photograph this rarity.

I hope you like it, C & C are welcome.

Nice low angle, good head angle and the one foot up pose is nice.
