It is keeping a keen eye on the ground. The sharp talons ready to attack the prey. Nice capture. Thanks for sharing.

Is it a large crop? Was the original image a bit dark? At 1/1000 the image should have had decent sharpness. They hover at one place for some time to ascertain prey before launching a diving attack or flying away. Thanks for sharing.
