The elusive Harrier and a few tiny waders

[coastalconn]

A few shots from my adventures yesterday. No one seems to give any love to the cute little wading birds around here..

I spent most of the day trying to get a decent harrier shot even thought it was dark and overcast..

Love the Harrier shots Kris. CREAMY BOKEH

To answer your question from that other place....I have a much higher keeper rate and I curse the birds less for moving around.

LOL, I bet you do. That is some pretty serious firepower! I bet you also have a lot more pictures to sort through with that machine gun

No doubt about that. Before (on average) I came home with approx 330 shots filling one 8gb card. Now I easily surpass 600 on a day outing.

Excellent! Especially the 1st. Also the last.

Kris, great shots as usual. The Dunlin is my favourite.
