This is my closest shot of a male Marsh Harrier and yes apologies for cutting the wing off the frame. It flew right over the Leighton Moss hide and my continuous focus setting wasn't quite as quick to ' lock on' as I'd hoped. Never mind with my modest equipment it's that bit closer. I still want to get one 'in the wild' rather than a sanctuary etc.

Since I can't capture anything quicker than a stationary flamingo, I am the last person to criticise and just full of admiration that you got this shot.
fantastic capture paul,great timing,well done indeed.ray
Cracking shot, way better than any of my feeble attempts to capture an in flight bird.

'Superb in-flight Capture, Paul!'
"I will forgive You this time,...for just clipping a bit of wing off the image frame."
(PS: Now, I think I will post 'my low-flying male Mallard Shot,'...Where I 'just clipped one of his Wings off the frame'~~)~~
