This is an excellent close-up John. Very nicely done.

Thanks Mike, it does do that from time to time here in Wales! :)

Yup, I'm sure you get rain whenever you ask for it, and even when you don't. I sure wish you could send some of it out my way.

Very nicely done shot itsed65. Pheasants are hard to come by out here these days. In the past, I would frequently see wild pheasants and get nice shots of them every now and then. But today, I almost never see them. And there is little chance of getting a shot even when I do.

Yes, they are elusive, skittish and very fast, all making them a tough subject. I get most of my pheasant shots at the Sacramento NWR, and there are quite a few of them there, but the minute they detect your presence, they scramble into the nearby tall grass. The 600mm equivalent reach of the RX10M4 does help in the being stealth department though.

The Sac. refuge is my favorite spot too. Most of my decent pheasant shots come from there. I even got a great close up of a Bald Eagle there a few years back. I've never seen another bald eagle there since.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

Jan / Feb on Amherst is Snowy Owl time ! I think they are building a wind farm on Amherst so be warned.
Wolfe Island is great for Snowys....it is also a ferry ride across from Kingston. I prefer Wolfe to Amherst.

BTW, they do a gear check on the ferry over to Amherst and Wolfe....there is an extra fee if you do not shoot Canon  :p

Haha!
Yes we know Amherst, been there a few times.Last time saw the signs about the windfarms :(
Extra fee for Sony. Maybe I should sell the Sony kit before I go ;)

I should also mention that there is also a proposed tariff charged on the ferry on photographers from the USA. ;-)a
