Animated red kite swoop from 2020. This beastie managed to grab a chicken wing in each claw. I was in a hide in my back garden, and felt it flap as it powered away overhead. You’ll need to follow the Flickr link to see the animation. Other shots in the album there.

Using the e Sony 85mm for these :+1:

Two more ducks. I dearly ruined my drone taking pics of that first duck. he started to climb up onto a log on side of bank and pose. just as I was going to take a pic my camera bag fell into the canal. I quickly pulled it out to find 2 inches of water in the bag and drone/controler/batteries were all damp.
Luckily they all dried out ok.
