An amazing battle unfolded as the Harrier Hawk checked every nook and cranny of the weathered wood-skeleton for it’s next meal. The starlings who calls it home was not happy and a scream-fest ensued.

Thank you Bruna. I am very dissapointed in the Tamron 150-600mm – it really does not perform well at distance. I find my images are very soft when photographing smaller subjects at a distance.

What a good image, the burned-out background works very well here, Landie! I really enjoy the composition, and there is so much action! The detail on the dead branch is beautiful and adds to the story—beautiful detail and colour in the Hawk’s wings, which is also nice and sharp. Unfortunately, the eye is not sharp, and that is a focusing issue. Next time, remember to focus on the eye, lock focus with the back-lock button on your camera for a sharp eye. Well done!
