Thought I would photograph some birds in the garden ...
but they were none to be seen except...
1)

2)

3)

4) Leaving - a bit too fast even at 1/500s

Thanks for looking, C&C Welcome

Thanks Anthony - about 10 minutes but I was sitting out in the open and didn't want to move in case it spooked him.
He was about 50 feet away.
The images are all about a 50% crop - it would have been nice to get closer but I was well pleased with the encounter.
