Image of New Zealand falcon

Description:

approached from some distance at the 200mm end of lens; walked forward side-on with camera to face until the bird got too big for the frame; ended up about 2m away. The chick showed no concern & the parents were off hunting so lucky on that count too! see http://naturewatch.org.nz/observations/376989 for an earlier shot of the same individual, no other chicks from nest
