Eleonora's Falcon, Kent (1 Viewer)

[Farnboro John]

Got this yesterday at the second attempt (went to Stodmarsh on Thursday afternoon but no sign: did see my second Caspian Tern of the week.)

Views were excellent at times as the bird hunted over a wide area of the Worth Marsh but returned repeatedly to the Great Wood.

A bird I never thought I'd catch up with in Britain!

All I can say in return is thank you so much for the lens!

Photo number 4 is as good as your aircraft photos John!
Just superb.

Much harder than planes of course.....

Glad you're enjoying it.

Glad you're enjoying it.

That scarcely describes its utility. After toting the 500 F4 around everywhere for years the extra mobility and the speed in and out of action means far more photo-opportunities taken rather than missed. It's more or less always with me and within reach. A great bit of kit!

It was good to see you too! Current combo slung on my hip is a 7DII with a 100-400 mkII on the front of it.

The 500 f4 is now reserved for e.g. planned visits to Acres Down where reach is critical.

Cheers

@Farnboro John what AF points were you using by the way? Was it just one single point or a different selection of points?

Single centre point but the R7 is changing that!
