Me little friends back

After around 2 weeks of nothing my little friend turned up again in the same spot as if nothing had happened. I was getting worried that he/she had met with a untimely end.


Nikon D1X
400mm 2.8 with 1.7 x TC
Tripod
1/400 sec at f5.6 ISO 125 -0.7ev

Would prefer a lower angle but a very pleasing shot.

I'm impressed with anyone who manages to photograph these. The 2 shadows of branches are a little unfortunate but still a nice image.

Nice shot. I kinda like the shadows cutting through it - gives it an early morning woodland feel.
Whenever I see one I'm always far too excited and I forget how to operate a camera properly!

Cracking shot of a very illusive creature, the shadows are ok with me too, top shot Ian.

I'd crop a bit tighter but the head and being in the sunlight really works for me. Good to see they are still with us.

Great capture, Ian. Shadows are indeed a bit unfortunate but I like the sunlit head. :smile:
