At last after many many years one came quite close last week and gave me a chance with just the right wing angle so worth sitting in the cold it's taken 20 or 30 years for this to happen so when the Mrs ask if i was happy it was a big yes :)

Wow Rob, what a catch, lovely light, rare bird and you nailed it.

No wonder you're happy.

Thanks for sharing your moment of joy :lol:

Very nice. Persistence does pay off! I wonder if these are the same as the Northern Harriers that we have in the United States.

These are getting very rare. I used to see them quite regularly here in Aberdeenshire, but haven’t seen one for a few years. I have never had the chance to get a shot like yours - well done.
