It is a good shot indeed. Your effort paid off. And I think your passion will just grow and grow. You will not feel the price you paid for the equipment because the drive for passion cannot be quantified in terms of money. Well done!

Nikon D7100, Nikon 600mm f/4, Gitzo tripod.Inspiration
My enjoyment of wildlife photography and wanting to take a special photo.Editing
A little bit of sharpening and saturation to give the colours some punch.In my camera bag
Depends on the situation but when out shooting birds like this photo I carry my tripod,camera,lens and a teleconverter for some extra reach if needed.Feedback
PATIENCE!!!! With every bird photo I have taken sometimes it pays off to wait in an area where you first noticed the subject you wanted to photograph because sometimes they return in a few minutes.
