european kestrel

Comments are welcome, thanks.

excellent shot

Hi, it's not a peregrine falcon. This is a european kestrel (falco tinunculus). It's a great effort and good capture. I think the background is distracting. There is definitely a problem with sharpness, whether this was camera shake in the original shot or added during compression is difficult to know. Well done, best regards, Matt

Thx Matt as you can see i'm not an expert , someone told me it was perigrine falcon (ye i should have checked it)of course you are right that is Kestrel

and again youre right that was misssfocus - my 300d focus wasnt fast enught for this bird so i try my luck manualy also the lense i used 75-300 f4-5.6 USM is the worst lens i've ever owned (at 300mm si soft even at f8)

i see you are from bristol too
