Hi Andy, getting one on the wing is never easy, this is a decent shot, full framed bird, wings out, nicely detailed. tfs, regards h

Hi Andy,
Well done on a beautiful capture, you panned this one perfectly.
What a lens eh, wide open, and super details and sharpness.
Cheers,
Pete.

Great stuff Andy, lovely capture and good sharpness. There's nothing to distract in the background, which adds to the shot.
Cheers, John.

I know from trying just how hard it is to capture a bird in flight so I am always impressed when someone manages to do so.

I think you've done a great job here and I love the EXIF data - ISO 800 to help with the shutterspeed. I think that shows experience and is a good lesson for others wanting to try this type of shot. Good stuff!

Hi Andy,
nice shot of a very smart bird,
You captured it at the right time.
I like the blured BG.
TFS..
