A few wildlife shots from the last few months, mostly with the DA*300mm and K-3

Some superb shots here Neil, that Water Rail is stunning (never seem one myself, though have heard them!)

Stunning , the fox is a cracker and the tit in flight also up there, well shot.

An example of what can be acheived by someone who is at the top of the game and the fact that these images are captured on Pentax gear is a bonus.

This sets the standards which I hope to aspire too as a wildlife photographer

Super shots...Red Grouse for me.

Very special set these!

Yes fantastic shots all of them. I especially like the Fox too - I think he looks a wise old soul!

Yep, have to agree with the above, a very nice set.

or SHE looks a wise old soul!

Great set of shots. I like the way the reflected light is catching the Rail.

Many thanks guys, some very kind words. The water ail was a showy individual and the blue tit a maual focus on one spot and spray and prey job.

Extremely kind of you to say. I was recently asked when I was going to upgrade from Pentax to one of the big 2 (although to be fair that was because I was moaning about the shutter problem I was having with my K-3) but I think for the money you can't beat a k-3 and DA*300mm. The AF and hi res sensors 'cropability' were a big jump from k-5 (which Im using at the mo as my K-3 is being repaired, I really notice the difference!)

I believe it was a vixen. She was quite a poser until she went off to breed in spring
