Great photo.
I'm new in this hobby and was practicing on a soccer field of a school (Got full permission for the headmaster). These birds nest on the ground and  "mock attack" intruders.  Thanks for that. My horizontal speed was slow - about 5 km/h and altitude about 25 meters.

Great shot, fantastic scenery!

@62+, Well done, pity camera has the sun in front, but for suchs shots you don't have much choice, great!

Nesting birds can be a problem...  Was just thinking though that if this was in photo mode and had HDR as an option this could have been an awesome picture.

Hallo Oldmaninwva
It was a screen shot of video footage. Not camera mode. I was just flying  for practice.
I shall post actual video footage and slow motion of event shortly.

Short HDR clip of event (real-time and slowed down 10 times)

That was close indeed.

Ouch, nice photo. Luckily you saved your bird.
