Thanks. I use a camo fabric drape and get into position before the birds (h???pefully) arrive.

Scouting locations is job one.

Then I tip my (imaginary) hat to you. Dedication and Skill.

How long do you usually spend in the drape ?

It varies, usually 2-2.5 hours. Sunrise to 9 am and late afternoon.

Thanks Darrell, yes 700mm. A bit much on the second one but who knew she'd land so close. :)
