Canon 500mm f/4L IS with 1.4x II TC and 1D MkII N. ISO 200, f/5.6.
At the moment it looks like here on Guernsey we have the grand total of one Marsh Harrier! So everyday after work I've been going down to the nature reserve where it's taken up residence and I've patiently sat in the hide and waited to catch a glimpse and hopefully a shot or two! This was the best shot from last weeks (all to few) attempts. Even with the 500 & 1.4x this has been cropped a fair bit.
Thanks.

Nice image Paul. I guess due to the cropping the image has lost a bit of sharpness.

Infuriating birds to photograph, even when they're more easily available as in Norfolk.
