# SERIOUSLY?!?
I must resign from work immediately! I spent all day selecting the zoo's new postcards from my image database as well given it hasn't been done since the nineties, I felt kind of important, especially given I slipped in quite a few of my photos :)

But at least you are one of the important ones ;)

# Solo, our Kestrel
who is simply gorgeous to photograph on account of such wonderful coloration, I used an 85mm f/1.2 on that

# Kestrel?
I'm thinking Kestrel ( or sparrow hawk my head is major stressed today ) but if I'm wrong you have to forgive me seeing as I got the coatimundi in seconds ;)

# You are a knowledgeable chap, Sir!
(I helped save b3ta! Jahled Three shades of black, Fri 23 Jan 2009, 20:42, archived)
# yes! In your face Attenborough!
I am blessed to live in an area which supports quite a few pairs of Kestrels.
We had a fox in the garden before Christmas and it was refreshing to see a big, healthy dog fox and not the mange-ridden skeletons I'm used to running over in Shepherd's Bush.

# The foxes my neck of the woods tend to be of the mange-ridden skeleton type
sad, pathetic looking creatures

# Fox, best animal ever!
Love them. Although a kestrel is certainly on the list.

# dandy sir
was meant to comment the other day, illustrated above, on how i love the way that camera of yours really throws the background of an image into complete zero depth of field obscurity, lovely effect. also *applauds photographer

# Prime lens' tend to do that
The 85mm f/1.2 is a legend for the background blur or Bokeh

# it is a lovely effect

I still envy your ability on the day to do stuff like bend or lie on the ground close up with those wonderful guys, without wreathing in pain
