About
After having seen him leaving his nest for the first time, I had just time enough to run for my camera and take his picture before he definitely left. I took several pictures, moving closer all the time. This one was as close as I could get with my lens (in 200mm position focussing as close as I could get in macro position). I did use the flash (in matrix mode)deliberately in order to darken the background a bit and to get a reflexion in his eye to make it more attractive.
