Saturady was a bit dull and wet but I was happy to get my first shot of a LEO

I was not able to get a clear shot without the foliage but theres alway next time

D300
Nikon 400mm with Nikon 1.7TC
1/125 sec @ f5.6 ISO 500

Cheers Ian

Well done on your first leo, the foliage is a little off putting, but to get these in the wild deserves a 'well done'nice photo ian

I like this too. I think the foliage adds to this. Eyes open is your next target!

Thanks

Graeme I must have stood there for about an hour waiting for the slacker to move, the most it managed was a head turn
