I have just returned from one of the best bird photography trips since a longtime. I spent a week in the Hortobagy, Hungary together with one of the wardens of this beautiful reserve. I came back with many images and i was really pleased to be able to photograph Marsh harriers at close quarters. This image is different from the normal Marsh Harrier images and i hope you like it.

Beautiful. Not sure if the reed tips add anything - personally I'd remove them as this is FF.

Super image of the MH :toast: :toast: :toast:
