A very nice shot with well composition.  I prefer a bit brighter.

Believe that u should have well camouflaged to shoot with 200mm, am I right?

Thanks Daniel - was early morning Sunday when light was very bad & I stupidly didn't use flash.

Hide - I am embarrassed  :-[- was a purple coloured tent..... but have modified it now & should be a little less conspicuous  :-/
Will have another try this weekend.... maybe closer

That's close enough to me!
I can see some fine scaly lines on the breast.

Scaly breast and yellow bill tip - it was probably born this year. That explains why it's so tame.

Got a pic of him which I'll show in another thread from about 1 month ago, when I would guess he was only a week out of the nest.
This pic was about 2 weeks out (I guess).
Have another pic from Saturday, when I guess he is only about 4 weeks out of the nest.

Hope you like them when I get around to posting them

This shot is much better in terms of night, head position & background. You did better and hope to see more excellent CK photo in future. Keep it on. ;D ;) :D
