Minsmere (Part 1 )

Four days spent at Minsmere and surrounding area were not disappointing in the least,firstly we were lucky in that we didn't get the monsoon type weather that you did back here in the Northeast and secondly Minsmere never seems to disappoint.This year it seems to have been the turn of the Marsh Harriers and the Hobbies ,all the pics were taken at 700mm and I still have a bit to learn regarding my b.i.f shots with the Hobbies being so fast I only managed one in flight shot.

The next pic of the Harrier caught me by surprise as it spotted some pray and was just about to strike,     they are a real fearsome looking bird when you get close.
