dont know what this is, it swooped down and picked something of the ground and took it to the tree, i was frantically trying to take a shot, auto focus wouldnt work, turned the camera off and on, re attached the lens, still nothing, duh i must have clicked the lens to manual. i really need to get into a pre camera set up BEFORE i try to shoot,
a quick look at my raptors of west america guide, i think its a kestrel, i will be keeping an eye on that tree to see if its a nest of just a feeding place.
the last shot is just to show the crop i had to do in shot 2, even at 500mm it was abit away.
