Adults this time.......
Chicks still coming along nicely!
All K5, 150-500, Tripod.
Remotely triggered, as before.




The post on which they're perched is one I set up by the paddock fence about two years ago, when we had a barn owl visiting. He never found the pole to his liking, however!
Everything comes to those who wait!
Any C&C more than welcome!
Thanks for looking,
Roger.

Not as convenientas the set at the top of this post of Womble's, but I refer you gentlemen to my image in the Galleryof last week, showing two images of an aquilegia flower.
These/this was taken to be viewed using the "cross-eyed" method. It takes a little practise
But, once mastered, the 3D effect is remarkable.
The image was taken with a k5 & 100mm macro. The camera on a long mounting plate to enable a "separation" of 66 mm.
The website revered to above (with Queen), has details.
There are many superb (extreme macro) examples on the photomacrography website

We're just s. of Salisbury Plain & quite often see large RAF planes going round us & over the Plain.
Not seen this one before, though.... & thought it might interest the plane-snappers among us. Not mid-Wales quality, Sorry!
Also, was intrigued to see its accompanying small aircaft. What's he doing, following / alongside the big'un?
Just for interest, really.....
