Up close

Met a man while we were walking along the riverside who had a goshawk with him, sitting on a leather gauntlet on his arm so I asked him if it was ok to take a photo. Of course, the lens on my camera was not really suitable for taking a photo of such a large bird sitting right next to me so this is a real close-up shot!

Thanks for all your comments on recent posts, very much appreciated.
That's a cracking portrait, Christine. I have been fortunate enough to see these in the wild and they are awesome looking birds.
