Shsdave Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 This chap had just landed halfway up the cliff face in Dover Kent to enjoy the lunch that he had just caught. Not as sharp as I'd like but I was shooting hand held 70 - 200mm (fortunately f4 not the twice as heavy f2.8) looking upwards & being blown around by very strong winds ! I know nothing about birds so can anyone tell me what this is ? Thanks Dave 2

Shsdave Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Thanks Steve hope you're well. haha you're probably right mate but doubt I'd be able to pick up the bar let alone the weights I do use it hand held though prefer to stick it on a tripod when able to, think it was the wind blowing as much as anything & being on uneven footing at the base of the cliffs ................ that's my excuse anyway. 1
