Super sighting. Like the eye contact. We've just started to get them visiting near where I live too, so am looking forward to the opportunity. Congrats

Very nice approach shot with good eye contact. The bird is a little dark on my display.

Nice incoming flight. You might want to brighten up the bird to show the detail.

Thanks for the C&C - the feedback is appreciated.
It looks like I need to recalibrate my monitor.....and perhaps visit an optician.....

Beautiful birds, we have plenty of them around here as they enjoy riding the thermals but an overhead view over the houses is not exactly an appealing photo.

I still enjoy seeing them.

I agree on going a touch lighter with this one.

Thanks Carol - appreciate your visit and advice.

It is nice to see that certain raptors are making a good come back.

This one came quite close after the local meadow was mowed.
