Watched as this falcon gave chase after a common snipe it had its eye on. The snipe's agility and speed helped it escape

First frame is fantastic! Love it!
#2 maybe some of the shadow could be restored, looks like the shadows were pushed too much to me. Is the blue beak something characteristic to this species?
#3 that is an amazing close encounter, wow!

Must have been fun to watch the chase, nice tracking on this speedster

The second frame is a bit overexposed but I could add contrast and dial the exposure down a notch to get better detail in the feathers. But the focus is not perfect, the focus lock is in the far wing not the head.

This was a very exciting close encounter and the snipe really showed off its speed and agility. It got away by flying through a narrow opening in the cliffs at the back of my cottage and from there it flew through some narrow opening in the shrubbery. this is when the Falcon gave up and took a breather on a rock before flying off looking for some easier prey.

Thanks Tam. the keeper rate was not very high, the change of directions and the speed make it quite difficult to keep up with in close combat :-)
