I've read your photographic stats. I'm impressed with how close you must have been. Can you explain how you achieved this?

  It's a lucky shot. I walked through the woods around Prague and there was that bird. I had my tele on and just shot it. Couldn't believe my eyes. Then I heard a whistle and the bird immediately flew away. Don't know if he is captured and trained to give shows, but the chance is great of course.
And the lens I used is a 100-400mm from my old Minolta, so the 360 is nearly a 500 digital. But yeah, I never got this close!
By the way: nice shot you're showing yourself!

  Thanks,

You were very fortunate. It seems more times then not that's how the really great shots occur. Being at the right place at the right time.
