I almost posted this in the "post your almost" photos thread. It is almost in focus, but I don't often get a shot of a bird with a kill so I posted it here.

Far from perfect but they're fast little buggers.

I'm slowly getting used to them so having them framed is no longer the problem. Having them in focus is. If I'm lucky out of 20 shots I have one or two that I can use. That is if I don't try to get too close.

I shoot d21 or d51 and only when I have a clear sky in the background. If there is anything else in the background or I shoot less focus points, my hit rate is depressingly low.

Looks like this Osprey is still hanging around. I shot this same one last week and she is still hanging out by the nest. Can't see any of the young ones though.
