Your R System Images - February 2024

[PKM-UK]

Almost lost the first one because I deleted it and had to recover it using the card's recovery tool. I don't see osprey's very often back home.

Hi Only RF,

Two wonderful captures of absolutely beautiful creatures - terrific eye-pop with both subjects (and very well-controlled given the competing demands).

Extremely pleased to read you were able to recover the lost files - been there and had the panic attack - these were definitely worth the effort involved.

Thank you for sharing...

Ahem, do you think I could get some privacy in the little bird's room?

Hi David,

A finely timed shot which perfectly highlights one of the reasons why I always recommend wearing a hat when photographing birds...

(Otherwise, it's a delightful composition! ).

I always do, but up until today, It's been to keep part of my head from getting sunburned. Might now need to invest in a waterproof one.

There is a bald eagle nest not too far from my home, it has 2 chicks who are starting to get pretty big. I went and waited for some movement and the chicks suddenly got up and began to flap their wings, maybe testing them out for a future flight. The nest is fairly high up in a pine tree and there are only a few spots to shoot from.

This winter has been one of the wettest, and coldest, since we’ve moved to Florida. Seems every time we head out to do something, this is the view from the front seat.

Hi Chris,

Stunning captures of absolutely wonderful and truly majestic creatures! Well controlled shots too given the competing demands of the lighting/ subjects.

(You certainly wouldn't want to get on the bad side of these clearly protective parents).

Thank you for sharing...

Hi Tony,

When it comes to being a magnet for seemingly ceaseless and utterly miserable rains, we definitely feel your pain.

(I've said it before, but me and Karen would appear to be rain gods and the weather is simply trying to please us!).

We should probably take great care not to be in the same place at the same time...


Having said all that, wonderful shot - well seen and caught - and thank you for sharing...

Due to the abysmally bad weather here in Derbyshire over the last few months, I have confined myself to shooting from my office window. I have various perches set up near the feeders. It has worked pretty well. A few images from the winter months.
