Fantastic shot but just wondering. Full frame sensor and 70-200mm lens, You must have been very very close? Or these are heavy crops?

The camera was about 8 feet away on a tripod with a wireless shutter release.

edit to add - it looks like actually the DM shots are the chap that owns the hides/workshop - wish that was made cleared in the article.

I've been following the argument thread on facebook that someone linked to yesterday.
Alan (the guy in the Daily Mail and that owns the hides) says that he told the reporters the exact situation and what he did to get the shot.
Apparently, they ignored what he said for a "better" article.

Don't know why all the gear is necessary for these shots, got one easily this week without any tanks, perches or anything...

When you only have one bird to shoot who may or may not turn up then you don't take any chances. [emoji6]

I may have missed it in previous posts but what sort of shutter speeds were needed/used for these shots. Number 2 is awesome.
