marsh harrier

Well Peeps, This is mega early for me to be posting, but I'm waiting for BF's Toby H to pick me up. We are off on a road trip birding today, hence the early start. I cant believe I got up at really "Silly o'clock" LOL. Hope you all have a good day, see y'all later.

Another one from our recent trip to Norfolk.

One of the main reasons for heading to Norfolk was to try for some better shots of these wonderful raptors. Found a great spot for them and came back with some decent shots. Here is a male.

Well Peeps, I spent a few hours at Holme Nature Reserve yesterday. I was joined by my friend Richard Brooks, one of Norfolk's top Wildlife photographers. We had some quite close views of the Marsh Harriers, then moved on to Thornham Harbour, and Brancaster Staithe Harbour. By this time what...

Well Peeps, Im almost up the creek without a paddle. My WD Passport pocket sized external hard-drive that I have all my BF pics that I have posted, my prepped pics to post etc, is refusing to work.
