I don't think its going to be doing any more walking, that looks like a pretty tight grip! So beautiful and the detail exquisite. Superbly taken and presented Alan! A beauty!

Excellent details, composition and look-back pose, Alan, and the prey adds to it.

Great image.. I have yet to land this species in my area.. and I do not have luck with them on migration.. Do you place the walking stick on the perch or was it a natural catch?

Great looking back pose, excellent perch and background, Alan. The food item in the beak tops it off.

The reds and blacks look fantastic on this one!!! Love the pose and the natural prey item. One of your better perched shots IMO.

Just beautiful detail. Amazing that the bird was so sharp at 1/100 SS. Great capture.
