Mute Swan in flight
Canon EOS 1D MKII, 600mm non IS, 1.4 X conv, G1548, G1321 levelling base, Wimberley head, 1/2000, f7.1, ISO 160, RAW, RSE, CS2. full frame, full camo gear.


Hi All,

I went over to the meadows opposite my home at first light this morning, with the target of three species, Barn Owl, Reed Bunting and Little Grebe. The Barn Owl (male) only gave me views through the bino's, the Reed Bunting shots I got, I was not happy with :frown: and I did'nt see the Little Grebe's.

This Swan took flight further up river after being chased off after a scrap with another one right in front of me, way to close for the 600 :mad: but I managed to get him/her as it flew by.

All comments welcome

Regards

Rob
