Took this in Orkney May 2016, was on the way back to the house and he was sitting on the fence outside the driveway. Sat the lense on the wing mirror of the van and bingo!

I love a sweet Shortie!
Very nice photo for being unplanned! Love the depth in the photo and I like the talons and the barbed wire together.
And most of all, thank you for sharing!
Cheers. To be fair I'd been out photoing all day and seen plenty of them out of range, so I wasn't hugely surprised when he popped up.
