    Well I was a little concerned and just took a few photos and as he had positioned him self very carefully I thought he was ok. \Any how after a while , well about a minute I got worreid and put my handout to him and ihe flew off quite ok , so I figured he was drying out. He spent most of his time flying back and forth accross the brook

    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.
