Thanks Brian. Which part of Long Mountain was the Kestrel and the Fieldfare? It's an under-watched area. Great for Skylarks in spring (on the spine road by the border)!
The Kestrel was hunting just along the road past the three bungalows which adjoin the Welsh Harp Hollow crossroad, turn left and it takes you to Hope or Buttington. It was perched on the wires on the right hand side. The Fieldfare were about three hundred metres past the bungalows feeding on the small berry laden trees either side of the road. They were very skittish so no photos. Hope this helps Simon.
Yes Mark, R5 and 100-500 RF. First time out in anger and a huge crop. The beauty about the RF 100-500 is it’s short length when using it in a car, never have been able to get the 600mm out of the window quick enough!

Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kev.
DeleteOn the R5 I assume Brian? 100-500 or your 600mm?
