If this was "Springwatch" there would be thousand 's of peeps out there saying
"wonderful insight into natures wonderfull sectet moments "
But for reasons un be known to me nest photography by other peope is taboo !!

hi all
ongoing subjective views - nest photography, as john has righty submitted on previous reply, springwatch do it well, hobbyists should not, however as previously posted, there is a lot more to taking a photo other than pressing the shutter, this shot as others was taken with all care and attention to the species involved, always putting the subject and surrounding wildlife first and foremost, so perhaps there is a place for careful, planned nest area photography, without danger/interfrence/hassel to subject matter, hence our individual drive to delve into natures inner intimate life cycle
again to all you budding photographers, keep subject matter the main priority, but perhaps you may also get that intimate one of shot that we all strife for.
Nice intimate view of the Buzzards life. An interesting photo. Artifacts does show a bit, but for this kind of behavior-shot that's acceptable. Wireless is the way to go for much nest-photography, as you demonstrate here.
