A sunny afternoon on Otmoor with just enough light to try and get some half-decent shots of birds in flight.
Started with a passing red kite. Relatively high shutter speed so hopefully no motion blur - but high ISO so the images are not the sharpest.
Then the marsh harriers at screen one - excuses above still apply.
OK, a couple of the photos weren't actually in focus - I do wish they had been.
Thankfully, the shoveller duck didn't rush around too much.
So - enjoyed another visit to Otmoor. And my friend, he wants to go again - soon.
Best wishes to all.
Your mystery bird looks like a redwing to me
Very impressive. I need to see the red patches. Thanks for the identification.

PS - feel free to identify any of our feathered friends that I haven’t identified - especially the LBJs on the lagoon.
