I think Peter is being just a tad sarcastic. ;D You will have to let him know that you are a man of few words. Back to the picture. It is a very good capture, if I was a mouse I would be running scared.

this is a magnificent bird! I was going to visit the Hawk Conservancy near Andover when I was in the UK last week but didn't make it there.

Good picture Alun. I like very much to see those birds of pray in the wild, even not being able to photograph them. This one seems to be a small eagle (?).

Nice DOF, Alun. A beautiful bird. Bells on its leg?

He's glorious, I hate that he's tied down, or is there a dome over his head, where he can't escape? Either way it's wrong...but great photo ;)
