Eyes in the Sky

Here is one female keeping a close eye on an intruder (me). She was not that far from my head when I snapped this and she only got closer. It was a hard shot to take since digital cameras tend to wait a second before taking the pic. I had to shoot early and hope she flew into the frame. This time she did. It's cloudy, of course. You can also see that her tail feathers look a bit knackered. This comes from sitting on a nest; they get scraped on the ground. It is one way to tell, just from looking at an adult, if she has eggs somewhere.
