Nice sheen on feathers from the sun. Looks very determined on the task at hand.
Lol , that blade of grass Looks as big as the bird
I consider this a ‘sport’ more than an activity. Kinda like shooting a .22 rifle into a target at 50 yards with a 12 MPH cross-wind, the adjustments you have to make are sporting… nice shot regardless.
