Hunting Marsh Harrier

[tigerburnie]

No sound on this film, it was taken using my 100-400mm lens with a 2x convertor, something you can do with the C100.

Thanks Ian after a fruitless trip into the Cairngorms, it was a bonus on the way home, I know where the nest is so it helps that I know where the usually hunt, pity there's a Loch in front of me, so I can't get any closer.

Nice capture Tigerburnie.

Thanks Bill, getting the hang of following birds in flight, pity it didn't catch anything.

[Trev B]

Nice one Tiger

[tigerburnie]

Thanks Trev, particularly pleased with the fact the auto focus was full speed with the lens set up, this C100 can do all sorts of things my dslr wouldn't including shooting poorish light at equivalent of f11.

It is indeed David, won't be long before the youngsters are on the wing I would have thought.

Here's the male, he tends to keep further back against the edge of the reeds, must be around a quarter of a mile or more away, you can see the different plumage though.
