Crested Goshawk, fem

Khao Yai

A wonderful Accipiter of the forest interior.
This is probably one of my best pictures. Perfect distance for the scope. (actually had to take a few steps back to get the whole bird in the viewer). Bird didn't fly off which was strange enough. Good light and a good perch. Still, I had to keep the camera very still as I don't use wireless shutter release.
In retrospect I should have set the ISO higher and thus have obtained higher speed.

Nikon scope 82mm Ed
1/81s f/4.1 at 21.9mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
