Bird on a wire

[David Morison]

I don't normally like taking photos of birds in man made surroundings but this little lady decided to pose for me for some while:



Canon 7D plus EF400mm f5.6L

Superb picture, David. Like it or not, that wire is now part of the bird's habitat.

I got so sick of editors chosing birds on feeders/man made perches I stopped shooting them. One birding magazine always used my bird on a feeder version in preference to them on natural perches.

I like your bird on a wire but agree with yoiu that the best are in their natural habitat.

You would only have a few Kestrels in your files if you did not include wire/electricity post shots as they spend so much time on them.

Good natural processing on this one......I see you exposed to the right....something I have found I have to with this kit for these shots.

Fantastic picture and, although on a wire, still looks natural. I see them perching on all kinds of things round here but unfortunately can't afford that lens!
