Accipitriformes – Accipitridae
The pics here are not re-framed: he is about 9 meters from the mirador. I grab my 300 mm lens and I jump to another opening. The fellow does not notice it coming out, his attention is kept on other birds of prey. That is the closest I can ever dream to get!

Photos non recadrées, prise à la verticale: il est à 9 mètres environ. Délaissant le 500 mm sur son pied, je saisis mon 300 mm et me positionne devant la seconde ouverture, lentement et tout en douceur… Son attention est vissée sur les autres rapaces et ne remarque pas l’objectif qui sort! Plus près que ça, je n’aurai pas souvent!

Passionate about Nature and photography but mostly animals and birds. I live in France at the present, but have lived in Africa for 16 years and in the U.S. for 3 years and with Australia in mind for the future. With my husband, I created and managed a Bird Park in South Africa, raising mainly psittacines; the breeding facility housed over 1000 parrots at any given time. My photography is about sharing fauna's beauty with other enthusiasts! Equipment: NIKON lenses: 400 mm Z F4/5, 800 mm Z, 500 mm, 200/500 mm, 800 mm f5/6E
