    fantastic Trudi. They also used to be known as the Crested Hawk, which I kinda liked better than the current name. You have even captured their personality, sly and sleek! Well done, great effort!

  • Trudi's Images replied

    Yeah l agree a crested hawk sounds much better, a Baza bird sounds abit weak for a bird with such an intense glare !! thanks for commenting Steve
