There was a very rough track all the way up in which the old 4x4 could get up, probably the roughest track i have ever been on. Rich( Lost on this forum) had bladder issues- lol with getting thrown about so badly due to suspension issues and the rough terrain. Lol.

Aprox 12m. The male is around 30-40 years old and held this territory for many years. The female was very very wary and much younger and it was very difficult to get any shots of her but i did get a couple.

Yeah it was only -8 some days where Connys went to -20 at some points. Lol

Stunning. Both have their own mood and feeling and capture the bird wonderfully.
