Harrier and Pinkfoot

[lammie]

Had a trip down Snettisham way yesterday to watch the the flocks of Pinkfoot leaving the Wash for a days feeding. Also came across the Marsh Harrier looking for food. Marsh Harrier shots hand held and then cropped as it was quite a way off. All taken with the 100-400. Comments welcome.

Thanks all of you for your coments. No spencer it didn't catch it, the harrier couldn't keep up with it.
