Hi Stuart

Now that's a species you don't see shots of very often. The background distracts a bit, but what can you do from a hide? Have I read right though - you did this with a 500 & 1.4X handheld?! Arms of steel :biggrin:

I actually prefer shots with some environment, but this is perhaps a bit lost in the background. It's a nice shot of an elusive bird all the same and I would be happy to have this tucked away in the hard drive until a better opportunity comes along. All the more impressive for being taken hand-held with one of those things.
