Spent a while in March trying to nail one of these - nothing anywhere near as good as this though :toast: :toast:

Anybody who knows me here will tell you how much I've been trying to get some decent shots (or even a shot) of the couple of Marsh Harriers we have here on the island. A result like this would do me just fine - an excellent photo Paul, nicely processed and obviously well worth all the effort and patience!

An excellent angle and loads of detail of this nicely coloured bird. I can't usually get within 500 yards of them.

A Great shot. Flight shots are a level of their own IMHO.

Nice shot. They fly through the mere near me where I do some ranger work, but I never seem to be there to see them, nevermind get a good shot! :smile:
