posted this on a photography forum and had my head chewed off because of the title... so title aside i am quite pleased

Nice one Vingo, but is it a local bird, or an exotic species? The only local thing that seems to fit the bill is a swamp harrier, with the yellow eyes, but it looks a bit stockier than a harrier from the mug shot.

[ving (David)]

not an exotic, but local... i'll have to look into what it is tho.

thnx

[ving (David)]

could be a whistling kite?

Amazing image David!

How did you get so close?

[ving (David)]

i photographed a picture in a mag with my macro gear... so real close

just kidding, this was at featherdale (a wildlife park in sydney) so getting close wasnt really a problem, just framing was.

That would be a laugh.

I love the image Dave, it gives such a different dimension with these close up shots your producing.
