Unbelievable.

Unbelievable. (Circus cyaneus)

After my last photo of the Harrier I lost sight of him behind the tree, all I could see was the occasional wing tip. I stayed focused waiting for it to break cover so that I could get another shot, that is when, to my amazement it landed in my tree. Unbelievable, I could not have wished for much better than this, I had only just put out my 7d2-500f4 and 1.4 converter. I went a bit silly with the first shots in case it flew away, but no, it sat preening itself. I now had time to re-adjust the settings for more photos, 265, to be precise. I will only send the three shots. Happy Bunny. I will not forget the 1st of June even though it has been one of the dullest, wettest days yet for photography.

Wow, wow, wow!!! Dull rainy days always bring out the raptors here so it shouldn't be any different for you. This is absolutely gorgeous. Those eyes sure are pretty. Glad you had such a wonderful day John, well done.
