Incredible flyby from a male marsh harrier in the last hour of daylight RSPB Blacktoft Sands and the Humber. Always a thrill to get this close to a magnificent bird. RSPB BBC Springwatch #BirdsOfTwitter #birdsofprey #wildlifephotography
The shy male garganey RSPB Blacktoft Sands and the Humber turned out to be quite a poser in front of Ousefleet in the late afternoon spring sunshine. Taken with Nikon 600mm f/4 with built-in 1.4x engaged and also a 2x converter as well! Kudos to Nikon UK & Ireland for such sharp optics! BBC Springwatch
This guy suddenly had a fit of pique and decided to pick on all the other males despite the torrential rain that kept sweeping through the valley. Such a beautiful bird BBCWildlifeMagazine BBC Springwatch RSPB #BBCWildlifePOTD #blackcock #blackgrouse #Teesdale
