Too much work. We have Osprey nests all over the place around here. Now, if it was a Bald Eagle, then yes, I would.

At last I have a camera and lens combo that does well in the gloomy/cloudy/wet conditions we get here in the UK.
The 200-500vr rocks with the d7200.
I decided to go for a walk around my local patch yesterday, despite it being rather overcast with a strong breeze and fine drizzle.
I didnt think I had any keepers on the card but I was pleasantly surprised.
(see pics in the post above).

Not much about this weekend. Here is a cute one.

Great for smaller critter too, heavy cropping on the second pic but it held up pretty well.

First shot - just downsized for uploading - as shot. Second shot - a crop-a-lot shot.

Shot with a Kenko 1.4 T.C.

That is impressive. I've just picked up my Kenko 1.4 TC, just about to go and try it out!

Uncropped 1050mm equivalent. 200-500mm + Kenko 1.4X TC

I went to one of my local bird hides yesterday but they've taken down the feeders and there wasn't much about, so I turned my attention to the cricket match going on just next to it. This is the first time I've done any sports photography but I think cricket it an easy one to begin with.
