Hi Guys,

Went back to Texel last weekend to host another bird photography workshop and we returned to the Marsh Harrier nesting site where we had a great time! This is the female out to hunt.

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel

Just seen this after the other post and I think this one grabs me a little better. Seems better in terms of contrast in what appears to be quite harsh light.

Kind regards,

Brett
