    Caught this guy just after he pilfered a fisherman's bait bucket.

    Dear Graham (no e)

    Nice image! There is clear separation between the bird and the blurred background. The bird appears sharp, and the eyes the most so. As Grahame says, "he looks well pleased with his lunch".

    Quick eye and well done - nicely crisp, nicely lit.

    Hi Graham: I also want to chime in and say that this is a great action shot. I love the way he is making eye contact with us.

    Excellent shot. He is looking at you as if saying "My lunch and you are not invited"!

    What a great shot Graham! We're heading over to the Brisbane area (Gold Coast) in December/January and really looking forward to getting some shots of your fabulous wildlife - any suggestions?

    Eric try googling "Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary" or go here for their web page. It's been there for over 60 years and is well worth a visit.
