Re: Phew, behavior shots to die for

Thank you Danny
I felt very lucky, even thou I didn't get the start of it when they were attacking it a lot more.Too far fo 210mm and lucky I didn't stop for shots too far away and used that time to get close enough to make it in time for some shots befoe they stopped attacking so yeah I'm glad I got them.

Gees Vas, amazing behavior shots and a good read thanks. They are huge beasts !!. Not many birds will let anything near them in nesting season, even hawks here get a hard time from magpies, lapwings, etc. However, this this is huge and only ever see them in TV documentary's. Fascinating and how lucky you are to see both and get shots of it. Incredible Vas.

All the best and you have made my day for sure.

Danny.
