A long while back I read about a native African who submerged himself in a pool where Lions came to drink, he hid with his camera somehow behind a log or something. At Sundown he managed to take a wonderful photograph of the Lions drinking which he sold for a very good price.

This is what Eric means, saw this Kingfisher at Titchfield Haven yeaterday. This is the full D850 frame as shot with 500mm +x1.4 ie 700mm lens! It was only there for a few seconds so no chance of moving closer. Attachment: Kiongfisher2368.jpg (Downloaded 22 times)

Good sun today so had a long walk in Farlington Marsh. Plenty of waders and ducks but a long way from the sea wall. This is 700mm lens best I could get, no luck with the Short Eared Owls that are here now and hunt voles by day. They have been seen but not for me! Attachment: Waders2463.jpg (Downloaded 11 times)

Even this Pied Wagtail was nearly out of range, this is a huge blow up but detail still quite good. Attachment: Wagtail2445.jpg (Downloaded 11 times)

Not wanting to disrupt a wonderful thread but I couldn't resist sharing this short video of a Pea**** who nearly came to a sticky end... https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06t5mqz?intc_type=singletheme&intc_location=bbcone&intc_campaign=iplayer&intc_linkname=vidclip_pea****wakesuptiger_contentcard25
