2.6.14	Chris Spracklen

Alpine chough in flight, Fuente De

Picos de Europe, Cantabria, Spain

The choughs put on a marvellous display of acrobatics at the top of Fuente De!

P.S. I've cropped this shot a little, but the background is just as I took it.
And the bird was quite close! The shot was taken at 70mm without my 2x converter.

Nikon D7100 ,Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR
1/1,000s at f9, ISO 200. full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
