Thanks folks. It was shot while I was nearly asleep so details are fuzzy. Shot with an EOS 350D and a 100-400L. Around 300 to 350mm and cropped from 8 to 5.5MP. Around F7.1 and either ISO 200 or 400 ... think it was the latter. Shot in RAW, as always.

I think she stayed there for about 2 seconds, maybe 3. I've plenty of practice in the hide at this point ... meter, focus quickly, compose and shoot. Keep everything on the tripod so I can react quickly.

Great shot. How close were you to the bird?
