Brimmer 220 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Those that know whats in the piccie will know how hard it is to get a photo of one of these critters in there normal clothes, caution is in there nature! Been lucky enough to see 6 of these in the past, even two in the same field. This one lives a few miles from me, and have been watching it for a few years now, but getting a photo close up is a hard task with one of the most paranoid birds on the planet. It will stay put whilst you are in the motor, but step out and it's away, usually around 500 yrds away, what sort of equipment would capture this rascal for some close ups? (And i don't mean a rifle!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brimmer 220 Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) Thats the one, only it's beak is not so pretty, its all mucky through probing for worms, but it's still a whitey.

I have an older model, the Fuji Finepix S7000, think you can get screw in lenses for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
