    Merlin

          2

    While photographing birds in a cemetary in Reykjavik I found to my

    suprise this merlin. I took a bunch of pics and this is one of them.

    The local redwings did NOT share my enthusiasm. This photo is not

    cropped, she was about 3 to 4 meters away from me and was still there

    when I left. I did not expect her to stretch so I missed the lowest

    part of the wing here. She was in the shade and getting a clear shot

    with no branches between us was a bit tricky but I am happy with the

    results. This is my first encounter with a falcon that has produced

    any decent photos.

     

    Any thoughts, critique appreciated.

  1. thanks all, for your comments.

    Yes I have thought about it, but it would be

    cheating wouldnt it?

     

  2. Thank you for your kind remarks. I went to downtown Reykjavik last saturday evening to escape the Eurovision Song Contest and also to photogrpah terns. So I was hoping for some good shots but I did not expect to capture such a great pose from the terns. They are admirable birds and it is allways a pleasure to see them in the spring here in Iceland.
