Maçarico-das-rochas "in flight".

Lighting is not good, too "contra jour", and the bird was about 40 metres away (approximately 60% crop), but I was pleased to have captured this image of this species. It was a burst of six shots - this was the only one which had the bird in the frame!!

Thank you Gonçalo, José, Pedro and Paulo for your comments. This was just a lucky shot using single AF point on a small bird against a "busy" background, and also lucky that the only shot I managed to capture had the bird's wings in a nice position Shocked

.

Obrigado,

Colin
