Despite the blue sky here, the light was not very consistent for my Marsh Harrier shoot. Watched the birds bringing in nesting material, but they never came terribly close. I was working yesterday and one flew right over the car- yes, you guessed it - no camera on board...

Not a great image, but I thought this was amusing, at least on a lavatorial level!

Ewwwww! Good timing (I think!)! I'm glad me or my car is not in the firing line of that rather large amount of cack!!

Hi Clive,

Good to see you have caught up with the Marsh Harriers, I think an Immodium might be in order :biggrin: :eek:

Regards

Must be rewarding to get one of these birds on 'film'.
Well caught.
