Nature American Kestrel

American Kestrel · 03:08 PM

Hi,

The American Kestrels I photographed a few days ago have decided to stay for a while in my back yard. So I took a few more pictures of them.
All with K100D Super / DA L 55-300mm / Av@f8 / Spot metering / No flash.

This would have been even better without that branch in front Oh well....

Look at those claws Yikes!

Thanks,

Great capture! Very lucky to do so with only 300mm lens.

It would have been nice without the branch at the front,but you can only do do what you can do.The second and third images are nice and clear,and you did well.
