Flight behaviour of great grey shrike

Last weekend I spend an hour with a great grey shrike at the Oostvaardersplassen. It was a pleasure to follow the interesting behaviour of this beautiful bird. During observing I obtained the plan to compile one image with several stages of its diving flight. Out of four successive images, from a series that was shot with 9 images per second, I composed the following result in Photoshop.

Nikon D3, AF-S VR 200-400/4.0 with 1.4*TC



I hope you enjoy the result,
