Marshlander

[Kiran Poonacha]

This is a Marsh harrier male, they are one of the best hunters that I have come acoss, they are really smart birds too. I was happy when he turned as he passed.

Spec: 1/4000, F 5.6, ISO 800, -1/3.

Mk4+500mm+1.4TC, cropped from horizontal to show more bird.

hope you like it.

Regards,

Kiran.

Kiran, terrific shot. These birds are not so easy to nail. loved the dorsal view and customary sweet BG.

What a dream of a shot such a wonderful pose, nicely focussed and complimentary colours - couldn't ask for more!

Very nice Kiran - especially well done with DOF. Seems like the whole bird is in focus. Did you handheld or used tripod?
