Well, I watched this guy for a few hours, from a distance. I was pleading (in my head) for him to come closer. Then he did (I caught him blinking, grrr), and then he really did....then he was gone. Its amazing how these guys can just disappear the way they do.

Nice one Andrew, "I was pleading (in my head) for him to come closer" I think we all know that feeling, I see this one has a ring, if you can read the numbers you should be able to find some info on the bird.

Those are great Andrew, I have often watched Buzzards and Kestrels and wished they'd come closer, so I can imagine you were pleased to get those :)

Thanks both. Yes I was having a little party in my head as I realised it was going to pass over. It was hounding the moorhens, did also do a dive, which it aborted pretty quickly, but missed that.

I cant imagine how many times we have though to ourselves, "come closer, just a little closer, etc".

Many thanks for the feedback. Perhaps I have ID'd this incorrectly, mmm.

Following on from this, I managed to locate an active Osprey nest site yesterday, which I'm pretty thrilled about. It's a bit of a trek, but I'll be headed back with the gear soon, I hope.

Two excellent in-flight shots, Andrew. Impressively well exposed. Great work.

Thank you, Levina, much appreciated.

Sorry all for the erroneous ID, clearly I got it wrong. Genuine error on my part.

Excellent IF shots Andrew, I love the look on the 2nd one. He went over your head and said "ok, you got your shots, now i'm gone :) "


... does it really matter?i see with my eyes, i shoot with my fingers.
