I was going to do the big wheel at Southbank but StephenM got in before me... even if I was organised enough to actually take the shot I wanted. Now it is the end of the month and I am resigned to use my fallback... and UK1 snags a cool shot of my subject :-)
Astroron assures me that the raptor is a Brahminy Kite, sometimes called a Sea Eagle.
Snapped this off Wellington Point Jetty a few months ago, Canon 400D, 70 to 300 mm lens @300 hand-held. 1/500 sec, f11, ISO 200, (just shooting on auto) cropped to 75% of original, unsharp mask in PS CS2.
