A very nice shot with well composition. I prefer a bit brighter. Believe that u should have well camouflaged to shoot with 200mm, am I right?

| Scaly breast and yellow bill tip - it was probably born this year. That explains why it's so tame.

| Got a pic of him which I'll show in another thread from about 1 month ago, when I would guess he was only a week out of the nest. This pic was about 2 weeks out (I guess). Have another pic from Saturday, when I guess he is only about 4 weeks out of the nest. Hope you like them when I get around to posting them
