Canon 7D2, 300mm F2.8+1.4TC

I must say, I'm really enjoying the 7D2, it's a belter of a camera, and the autofocus tracking is superb.

Cracking set Les, like them all.

Its such a pleasure to see these birds all around leeds these days, drove down harehills lane recently and saw a couple of red kites hovering over the park, amazing.

Where you on the Arthington lane when you shot these or did you go into the grounds

No I was at the cafe at Harewwod village hall, who says bird photography is difficult ;), sat having a nice cuppa at the back of Hall while shooting. :)
 
Such beautiful birds, captured very well indeed. Number 2 is my favourite.

I see these every day on my commute down the M40 although when driving I can't take photographs. Gets the Rozzers all emotional does that. And to think, 30 years ago these were very rare indeed.
 
I'm looking at one now soaring outside my office window :)

These are lovely shots, I really must see if they'll let me get up on the roof with my tripod one day!

Lazy sod ;) good to see you put the effort in and managed to get out of your car (y)
 
Excellent set, nice you could relax and have a coffee whilst snapping away. You may need to get onto the cafe for commission, as I can see them getting busy with photographers :D
