NEARLY HAD A NASTY ACCIDENT

Nearly had a nasty accident is a understatement,after spending a few hours try to get a few more shots of the juv marsh harrier
i was walking back to my car and i must of scared the living daylights of this marsh harrier 2cy female i think as see was quartering the bend,she then lunged at me with both claws,i felt the breeze of her wings as she past millimetres above my head,it gave me the biggest scare of my life a few dogdy shots of the bird


try my best not to spook anymore birds

3 HOURS WAIT,IT GETTING BETTER

3 hour wait 40 fags later,only joking half a dozen,also breaking my next for a pee.thought i better not move as it was sitting in front off me,as upon turning up, i watched it being fed by the adult bird then went into hide,so i hid up and waited and waited......................did get a shelduck then these,had to be careful as not to spook the bird, so i let it quarter up and down, then took a few shots on silent mode..you guess it,still heard the camera,by chiddy i am off end of session
