A Eastern Marsh Harrier was looking for prey ... The shot was taken last week at a nature reserve here in Hong Kong. :D

A nice image showing behavior and its beauty. I think the bg helps this one a lot. Did you use flash? The catchlight looks a bit strong if you didn't use it.

This is a wonderful shot.....I especially love the head down searching for prey. You certainly have a good variety of birds to shoot.

Nice capture. I would like to see more of the head in brighter light and, of course, if flash was used, there is the bird equivalent of "red eye" here.

Nice flight shot. I'm also seeing the 'steel-eye'. I like the head down pose. :)

I like the intent down stae while looking for prey on Harriers. Nicely done.

Very nice flight shot. If they are like their counterparts, accomplishing this shot was no small feat. Its cool to see the birds different coloration.

KK,

Nice capture. The snail kite I've been trying to get, flies with this same head posture.

Jim
Enjoy viewing

I love the pose of the bird here! Like Mike, I'm surprised by the strength of the catchlight. Great stuff, K.K.!

I love flight shots, particularly of raptors. WOW. Love the complete wing spread.
