I thought it was overexposed, but all I did in NX Studio was reduce the noise and I think I increased the sharpness slightly. I hadn't thought about the histogram, being obsessed with the focusing. I will address that in future.
I have thought of bait - so far I have only had two raptors in the garden - one was a sparrowhawk which broke its neck on the conservatory window, and a peregrine falcon which chased a bird into a shrub - unsuccessfully. It must have stood facing me for at least 30 secs, before it took off, but this was before the Nikon, and the Powershot was not to hand
. I do remember a hawk of some sort flying at hedge height through the garden at very high speed - it had gone before I could blink!I will try the bait - it will be would be interesting to see the result.
There's all sorts in my neck of the woods - apart from kites,kestrels,and sparrowhawks, the ravens, crows,jackdaws, would descend wholesale and clear up the bait before the kites got a sniff! Not to mention cats.....
I will have to sit and wait, and shoo off the unwanted visitors.
Your kite and blackbird is a beaut.
