Crested Hawk
These chaps always turn up in winter,feeding on stick insects and tree frogs,high up in the blue gums around the property-harmless to small birds,unlike the collared sparrow hawk that also gets around the same time of year.
Hope this is of interest,taken with a 50D and 400 L series lens,I'll find the settings if needed.This camera and lens just won me first,second and third in an advanced wildlife photography comp,I nearly did not put any entries in,as I knew some people that had 500 and 600 L's were putting entries in the same section and knew I'd be totally out gunned,but the 400 L-the little lens that could!
