This year these wee guys have been constantly moving around quite a bit, hiding, but then calling to each other, so I'm not sure if there will be a broad this year or not, but we will see. Therefore, over the last few weeks and even more slowly over the last few days the confidence and trust is coming back to the point and on their own terms, they are choosing to come closer, perhaps they like the limelight? Although I'm still retaining a long lens for good reason, this morning I had to swop to the more flexible 200-400 for a few frames.
Thanks to those who viewed or posted a comment on the previous thread.

Note: The subject is fully wild and completely unconstrained.
