Thanks for the kind comments. I apologize for deleting one of them while trying to edit my response. This shot was pure luck. I was shooting black necked stilts and least sandpipers when a pair of harriers arrived on the scene. This one is the female, I believe. Lens was a Canon 500mm F4 L IS with 1.4x teleconverter, hand-held with a Bushhawk shoulder stock. georgef8

700mm! Blimey. What lens was this with? the DoF has worked out great with mega bokeh in the background and the prey still recognisable but also blurred. - Jono
