A few from this morning's walk by the river Derwent in Belper. There are 4 chicks in total so Mum (or Dad!)is working pretty hard.
All a little grainy as the lighting was as problematic as ever and I tend to shoot this kind of subject with fixed shutter speed (1/1000) and aperture (in this case F5.6) Auto iso selected by the camera at 2500.
These are all substantial crops as well
All shots on Pentax K-3iii and Pentax 150-450mm

Clearly difficult to photograph. Excellent work here.
Be well, stay safe, but most of all, invest in memories

Take a bow. Dip up and down. These are wonderful.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
